The gold standard refers to a monetary system where the value of a country's currency is directly linked to a specific amount of gold. Under this system, countries would make their currency convertible into gold at a fixed rate. The gold standard provided stability and confidence in the currency as it ensured that the value of money was backed by a physical asset. However, it also limited the flexibility of central banks in managing their economies, and during times of economic crisis, it was difficult for governments to expand money supply and stimulate growth. The gold standard was widely used until the mid-20th century when most countries shifted towards fiat currencies with no backing in gold or any other physical asset. Today, it is considered an outdated system as it does not align with the complexities of modern economies.

The main products of the gold standard are gold bars, gold coins, and other forms of physical gold.
