 Bimetallism - Economics Dictionary of Arguments
 
Bimetallism: Bimetallism in economics is a monetary system where two metals, typically gold and silver, are used as legal tender at a fixed exchange rate. It aims to stabilize currency and facilitate trade but can lead to imbalances if market values of the metals diverge, often invoking Gresham's Law. Also see Gresham's Law.
