Gold and silver bimetal system

Japanese: 金銀複本位制度 - きんぎんふくほんいせいど

A monetary system in which both gold and silver are standard currencies. It is also called a bimetal system or a bistandard system. Gold and silver are in circulation as minted coins, and the gold and silver ratio is legally set, but since the separation between the market price of gold and silver and the legal ratio is unavoidable, it is difficult to maintain. It was implemented in France, the United States, Japan (1878-1897), and other countries in the late 19th century as a way to deal with gold shortages. → Lame standard system → Related topics Gold-beating policy | Silver standard system | Single standard system | Standard system

金と銀の双方を本位貨幣とする貨幣制度。複本位制度，両本位制度ともいう。金と銀とが鋳貨として流通し，金と銀との比価は法定されるが，金銀の市場価格と法定比価との分離は避けられないので，維持は困難である。金の不足に対処する便法として19世紀後半にフランス，米国，日本（1878年―1897年）等で行われた。→跛行(はこう)本位制
