In the 19th century, various currencies were used around the world, often depending on the country and its economic system. In Europe, many nations operated with gold or silver standards, using coins such as the British pound, French franc, and German thaler.

Most metals were not discovered until the 19th century due to limitations in technology, metallurgy, and scientific understanding. Early civilizations primarily used metals like copper and gold, as they could be found in pure forms and easily worked with. The development of more advanced techniques, such as electrolysis and improved smelting processes, in the 19th century allowed for the extraction and identification of a wider range of metals, including those that are more reactive and not found in nature in their pure state. Additionally, the periodic table's formulation helped scientists systematically explore and categorize elements, paving the way for further discoveries.
Industrialists opposed the increased coinage of silver during the 19th century primarily because they favored a gold standard, which was seen as more stable and conducive to economic growth. They believed that an increased supply of silver would lead to inflation, undermining the value of money and creating uncertainty in business transactions. Additionally, industrialists were concerned that a bimetallic standard would disrupt international trade and investment, as many countries adhered to the gold standard. This preference for a stable currency aligned with their interests in promoting industrial expansion and maintaining economic stability.
