What is the Gold Standard
The basing of a currency on gold. In some sense in such a
system, gold IS the currency and money is a symbol for a
corresponding amount of gold, backed by the issuer - i.e. the bank
promises that by some means you are always able to exchange X of
its currency for Y gold, and vice versa.
No country still uses the gold standard - modern currencies are
free floating with their value determined by local markets and
exchange rates with other currencies.
Even so, national governments still usually carry large gold
reserves as a holdover from the time when they needed them as a
physical guarantee. Gold has remained valuable over thousands of
years so it can always be sold as needed for any currency
(including its own) that a country might need, or bought to safely
store wealth.
