The gold standard was a system of money where the government owned and kept an amount of gold that was represented by the paper money issued. Paper money was called gold certificates and originally you could present the paper money and be given the stated face amount of gold for it. People like libertarians and strict constitutionalists supported the system, but the US stopped using it.
