To-do list for Gold standard: edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2019-02-05


Here are some tasks awaiting attention:
  • Cleanup : Brits section, some biased comments there.
  • NPOV : Neutralize Bias throughout article. Integrate the pro/con list for a more neutral point of view
  • Update : Replace cited articles 3 and 4 with a more recent survey to reflect current views. The current sources are from 2012, and thus cannot be used to represent current opinion. Alisa Ayn Rosenbaum (talk) 23:48, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
  • Verify : sources and quotes of the historical values of the amount of cash tied to a certain amount of gold per gram/kilogram. The source for the amount of £ for the UK pound is a bit dodgy since the source is not reputable nor has any address nor ISBN/page number.

English POV

Based on French franc, I gather that since 1800, France has been on the gold standard, using a bimetallic standard where silver was used for small change. Even timeline in the discussion fails to note that. Similarly, the Spanish real page indicates that Spain has been using a fixed gold equivalent for its currency since 1566, when the value of silver was also fixed. Can anyone improve the article, so that a reader could understand how did Newton's bimetallism innovated beyond the Spanish bimetallism, and why was the British pound more of a gold standard than the gold napoleons? As is, it seems the article was written with a British POV.

Reignition of Gold Standard

Hello! I don't see any mention in this article about current advocate of the gold standard Keith Weiner and his company Monetary Metals which pays a yield on gold, paid in gold, in an attempt to give individuals and institutions a way to start their own personal gold standard. Should this be noted on this page as the most recent attempt by a private company to restart a gold based ecosystem? The first Gold Bond in 87 years would be noteworthy for this page I would think?
