The gold standard is an economic policy in which all forms of currency (coins/paper money) is backed by an equivalent amount of gold in a national bank. The currency system in the US is not backed gold. In fact, it's not backed by anything. Even though I am a proponent of Laissez faire capitalism and (American!!!) libertarianism, I do not have sympathy for calls for returning to the gold standard.
