During the Gilded Age, the debate over currency typically centered around the choice between gold and silver standards. Presidents like Ulysses S. Grant and William McKinley favored the gold standard, which was seen as a way to stabilize the economy and attract investment. In contrast, advocates for bimetallism, such as supporters of William Jennings Bryan, pushed for the inclusion of silver to increase the money supply and alleviate the burdens on farmers and debtors. Ultimately, the gold standard prevailed during this period.
