WHAT DOES BIMETALLIST MEAN IN ENGLISH?

bimetallist

Bimetallism

In economics, bimetallism is a monetary standard in which the value of the monetary unit is defined as equivalent both to a certain quantity of gold and to a certain quantity of silver; such a system establishes a fixed rate of exchange between the two metals. The defining characteristics of bimetallism are ▪ Both gold and silver money are legal tender in unlimited amounts. ▪ The government will convert both gold and silver into legal tender coins at a fixed rate for individuals in unlimited quantities. This is called free coinage because the quantity is unlimited, even if a fee is charged. The combination of these conditions distinguish bimetallism from a limping standard, where both gold and silver are legal tender but only one is freely coined, or trade money where both metals are freely coined but only one is legal tender and the other is trade money Economists also distinguish legal bimetallism, where the law guarantees these conditions, and de-facto bimetallism where both gold and silver coins actually circulate at a fixed rate. Bimetallism was intended to increase the supply of money, stabilize prices, and facilitate setting exchange rates.
