Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A bimetallic standard is a monetary standard based on the use of two metals, usually silver and gold. The value of coins minted under a bimetallic standard is based on the value of both metals, with the relative value of each metal determined by its market price. This system was used in many countries throughout history, including the United States until 1900.
