In liquidation, a debenture ranks behind current liabilities, if so specified, and/or first and general mortgage bonds. In effect, the security is the general credit of the issuer. Sometimes, they are partly secured by certain assets which are not sufficient to provide a full mortgage(such as the assets of a subsidiary or a regional operation). In such cases they are known as secured debentures. 1, record 2, English, - secured%20debenture

En cas de liquidation, les débentures prennent rang après le passif à court terme s'il y a une stipulation à cet effet et après les obligations première hypothèque et les obligations hypothèque générale. En fait, la garantie repose sur la cote de solvabilité de la compagnie émettrice. Quelquefois, ces titres sont partiellement garantis par certains biens dont la valeur n'est pas suffisante pour garantir la totalité de l'emprunt (tels que les biens d'une filiale ou d'une exploitation régionale). En de pareils cas, ces titres sont désignés par l'appellation «débentures garanties». 1, record 2, French, - d%C3%A9benture%20garantie

During World War I most countries suspended the redeemability of their currencies into gold..., withdrew gold coins from circulation, and concentrated gold holdings in official reserves. The currencies of most belligerent countries did not, however, depreciate by much in terms of gold and the dollar because of official pegging operations supported by gold sales, foreign borrowing, liquidation of assets abroad, and imposition of some import and exchange controls. At the end of the war the United States was virtually the only country on a full gold standard. 1, record 3, English, - full%20gold%20standard
