    In 1825, the government imposed the Sterling standard and British coins began to be minted in Australia. These silver and bronze coins continued to be used until 1910, when a new national currency, the Australian Pound, was introduced. The Australian Pound was fixed in value to the Pound Sterling and, as a result, used a gold standard. Three years later, the first series of Australian notes were issued. In February of 1966, the Australian Dollar (AUD) was introduced under a decimalized system; dollars and cents replacing the pounds, shillings, and pence. In 1988, banknotes were…

    Before 1806, the monetary system used in America was silver standard. In 1806, President Jefferson “kicked out” silver standard from the monetary system and gold standard became the only standard of economic unit of account in United States. At the time of 1900 when the gold standard was first introduced in United States, one dollar equal to 1.5g of gold. However, during World War One, due to the skyrocket spending on military, most countries suspended the gold standard so that they can print as much money as they need. Unsurprisingly, the disconnection between currency and gold caused a great inflation in many countries. In order to keep the value of US dollar and protect the gold reserve, the gold standard was temporarily suspended at July 31, 1914, and it didn’t restore until December, 1914.…

    Australian Dollar Forecast

    * Prior to 1983, Australia maintained a fixed exchange rate. The first peg was between the Australian and British pounds, initially at par, and later at 0.8 GBP (16 shillings sterling). This reflected its historical ties as well as a view about the stability in value of the British pound. From 1946 to 1971, Australia maintained a peg under the Bretton Woods System, a fixed exchange rate system that pegged the U.S. dollar to gold, but the Australian dollar was effectively pegged to sterling until 1967. With the breakdown of the Bretton Woods system in 1971, Australia converted the traditional peg to a fluctuating rate against the US dollar. In September 1974, Australia valued the dollar against a basket of currencies called the trade-weighted index (TWI) in an effort to reduce the fluctuations associated with its tie to the US dollar. The daily TWI valuation was changed in November 1976 to a periodically adjusted valuation.…
