Ce système monétaire [...] se caractérise ainsi : - les réserves des banques centrales ne sont pas constituées seulement d'or mais aussi de monnaies dites «de réserve», de nos jours essentiellement des Dollars US, - la monnaie émise dans un pays n'est pas convertible en or, mais chaque monnaie a cependant une définition légale par rapport à l'or et celle-ci est officiellement déclarée auprès du Fonds Monétaire International, - les monnaies de réserve sont convertibles en or. Ce (dernier) principe est resté cependant théorique [...]  4, record 2, French, - %C3%A9talon%20de%20change%2Dor

Los Estados socios del FMI se consideraban incluidos en este patrón, al garantizar la convertibilidad de sus monedas en dólares, los cuales a su vez podían cambiarse por oro; si bien solamente por los bancos centrales. Aunque formalmente el patrón de cambio oro sólo desapareció en 1971, ya desde mediados de los años 50, al ser las reservas de oro de EE.UU., del Fuerte Knox, inferiores al volumen de los dólares de EE.UU. fuera de su territorio, la convertibilidad pasó a ser virtualmente incumplible. Esta situación de facto se superó por medio de acuerdos entre EE.UU. y los bancos centrales de los países con mayores reservas de dólares, que se comprometieron a no reclamar su convertibilidad; la excepción en este sentido fue la Francia de De Gaulle.  1, record 2, Spanish, - patr%C3%B3n%20de%20cambio%20oro

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
