With the exception of the US, all countries had eliminated the gold standard by 1944. Nixon did the same in the US in 1971. The euro encompasses multiple countries, which would make it difficult to be 100% backed by gold as the countries it serves all have different reserve values. If you were to combine the total reserves of the Eurozone countries vs. the amount of euros in circulation, the rate, depending on the gold market at the time, would only be about 5-7% of the euro value able to be backed by gold.

"Ring around a rosie,
a pocket full of posies.
Ashes, ashes,
we all fall down."
A common misconception is that the nursery "Ring Around the Rosie" has to do with the black plague of the 14th century. The premise of that misconception is that: "The 'ring around a rosie' refers to the round, red rash that is the first symptom of the disease. The practice of carrying flowers and placing them around the infected person for protection is described in the phrase, 'a pocket full of posies.' 'Ashes' is a corruption or imitation of the sneezing sounds made by the infected person. Finally, 'we all fall down' describes the many dead resulting from the disease."
However, according to the researchers at Snopes.com, "Ring Around the Rosie" is a simple nursery rhyme of indefinite origin and has no specific meaning."

NO, once it is yellow...you CANNOT change it to white. * Yellow gold is made by mixing pure gold with alloys such as copper and zinc. * Rose or pink gold is made using a mix of pure gold with alloy metals including copper. The copper provides the rose-reddish color. * White gold is an alloy of gold and some white metals such as nickel and palladium. The only way you can change the color of your ring is to have it plated. This method is not permanent as the coating will wear off through normal wear and tear. However, almost all white gold rings today are rhodium plated and there is no reason you cannot rhodium plate a yellow gold ring. The difference is that the contrast will be much greater as the plating starts to wear, so more frequent replating will be necessary. In the case of jewelry that receives little wear, like a pin or a broach, rhodium plating may last indefinitely. Sure, yellow gold could be turn in white color and we have yellow gold rings and white gold rings. It is common for jeweler to make a 18k white gold ring by yellow gold. He will add 25% other metals, like nickle which would make the yellow color turn into white. That comes a 18k white gold ring.

gold is rated by karats. Pure unrefined gold is 24k. Jewelry is made with alloys added to it because gold is a very soft metal and wears down easily with friction. 18k is 18 parts gold and 6 parts alloy. 14k is 10 parts alloy and 10k (usually what rings are made of) is 14 parts alloy. Some people have acidic skin and can wear gold and get a green ring mark because of the alloy, even though it is still real gold.

Silver or Silver and gold spinner rings are called - spinning rings.
Spinning rings are designed in a way that outer smaller rings spin on the inner ring that encircles the finger.
The spinning rings or spinner rings have an outer decorated band which manually spins around the inner ring part.
The base (inner) ring is stable on your finger, while the outer (smaller) ring can be rotated.
There are different varieties. Some are "flared" bands, with the rotating rings visibly loose on the flared band. The most common are flat edge bands, with the "spinner" portion almost invisible - until you start spinning it.
Ancient generations wearing (and spinning) silver spinner rings reduced their tension levels and anxiety in the human being. Several researches revealed that "playing" with
Spinning-Ring band in repetitive motion helps to calm the mind.
