Gold has always played an important role in the international monetary system.
Gold coins were first struck on the order of King Croesus of Lydia (an area that is now part of Turkey), around 550 BC.
They circulated as currency in many countries before the introduction of paper money.
Once paper money was introduced, currencies still maintained an explicit link to gold (the paper being exchangeable for
gold on demand).
Invariably Gold can be referred to as Money since it circulated as currency of purchase and exchange.
