Because of this foreign debt situation the government can only achieve the trade surplus by restricting imports through the awarding of import permits and foreign exchange allotments. At this point the civilian government has not granted the military all necessary approvals and any increase in price could jeopardize the finalization of the currency permit for US dollars to pay for the deal. 1, record 13, English, - currency%20permit

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 16, English, - full%20gold%20standard
