 | | The LMU countries were at the forefront of the promotion of bimetallism, but Britain and Germany were never really on board, and the requisite degree of international co-operation was not forthcoming. | | | There was, however, a difficulty with bimetallic standards. | | | A bimetallic monetary standard can be defined as one in which coins of two different metals are legal tender. |

| | Bimetallism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Bimetallic Standard, a series of pages on bimetalism from Micheloud and cie. | | | In economics, bimetallism is a monetary standard in which the value of the monetary unit can be expressed either with a certain amount of gold or with a certain amount of silver: the ratio between the two metals is fixed by law. | | | This created a conflict between those that favored inflationary policies caused by a bimetallic standard and those that favored sound money produced by a gold standard. |

| | Bimetallic Standard and bimetallism : an introduction |
| | A bimetallic standard is a monetary standard where the monetary unit is defined as consisting of either a certain amount of a metal or a certain amount of another, with the monetary authority being ready at all times to coin either metal at the legal price. | | | Whenever the market price of silver in terms of gold is sufficiently far from the legal ratio, the economy switches to a monometallic standard, using the relatively cheapest metal as money and removing the other from circulation. | | | For example, in the United States for the greater part of the 19th century the dollar was defined as consisting either of 22.5 grains of gold or 371 grains of silver (a grain is 0.065 grams). |

| | Laughlin, The History of Bimetallism in the United States, Front Matter: Library of Economics and Liberty |
| | The demand for this volume in the summer of 1896, when the revision was going on, was such that the publishers issued a third edition with the appendices revised to this year, and a new chapter at the end of Part II (Chapter XIII). | | | In brief, the multiple standard would take away all reason for bimetallism. | | | But it has also been necessary, in taking up the history of an economic subject like bimetallism, to deal with some matters of economic principle as well as with the facts to which they are applicable. |

| | Limping bimetallism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Bland-Allison Act of 1878 allowed the coining of new silver dollars, thus creating this system, which was then abandoned again once the Gold Standard Act of 1900 was enacted. | | | It was developed after the abandonment of bimetallism and the adoption of the gold standard in 1873. | | | Limping bimetallism was a monetary system in the United States that was partially dependent on silver but primarily dependent on gold. |

| | Bimetallism: An Economic and Historical Analysis |
| | The raison d'être of bimetallism had been removed and England was on the gold standard." Very important in Redish's view (and she persuades this reviewer) was new technology for minting coin, which made token coins difficult to counterfeit. | | | Two important questions that will be addressed are (1) why bimetallism evolved into the gold standard, and (2) why the gold standard did not occur earlier than it, in fact, did. | | | It not only summarizes the work but also carries the history to the late nineteenth century and beyond, through abandonment of the gold standard, to the current interest in currency unions and currency boards. |

| | Oilfield Glossary: Term 'bimetallism' |
| | In normal conditions, the effect of bimetallism on the SP is small, and care is taken to avoid it. | | | Since the magnitude of the drop depends on the formation resistivity, the effect of bimetallism is often seen as a resistivity log superimposed on the normal SP. | | | This potential drop will appear on the spontaneous potential (SP) log, where it can be confused with the electrochemical potential. |
