Fiat currency was introduced in China during the Tang Dynasty, around the 7th century AD, but it became more widely used during the Song Dynasty in the 11th century. The concept of fiat money gained traction in Europe during the 17th century, particularly with the establishment of banknotes by institutions like the Bank of Sweden in 1661. Unlike commodity money, fiat currency has no intrinsic value and is backed by the government that issues it.

How did the use of standard currency or coins help the economy of the Roman Empire?
Augustus created a new standard currency. There was already a standard currency previously, during the Republic. A standard currency was needed to have a uniform monetary system for payments and for the exchange of goods throughout the empire. Augustus followed an innovation introduced by Julius Caesar. Caesar was the first ruler who introduced coins baring his own portrait. Augustus introduced coins with his own portrait, establishing the tradition of linking the emperor's sovereignty with the issuing of coinage. Subsequent emperors also issued coins with their image. Augustus also reformed the coinage system to rationalise it and make it more fitting with the new economic conditions of the empire.

What is the difference between a fiat currency and a gold-backed currency?
Fiat currency is based on faith that it is worth something, much like an IOU. If the authority printing that currency has good credit, the currency will be worth more, and the opposite is true, as well. Gold-backed currency is just that: currency which represents the exact value of gold printed on it. So, a $1 treasury note = $1 in gold. Traditionally, with a gold-backed currency, you, the holder of that note, would be able to go down to your local bank and exchange that note for the same amount of gold. In short, with a fiat currency, everyone agrees that it's worth that amount, and it is subject to national credit ratings. With a metal-standard currency, the currency is based on the price and value of a particular metal, like gold. There are currently no gold-backed currencies. Every currency in the world is a fiat currency.
