History

Historical Context

The Gold Standard Act of 1900 established gold as the exclusive standard for U.S. currency, fixing its price at $20.67 per ounce. This shift followed a broader international trend, as many countries adopted gold standards in the late 19th century, enhancing global trade stability.
