The gold standard is an economic system where a country's currency or paper money has a value directly linked to gold. Near the end of the nineteenth century, several of the world's major currencies were fixed to gold at a set price per ounce.

In 1900, Congress introduced and passed the Gold Standard Act. Some form of monetary policy. The standard economic value of the account is based on a fixed quantity. The error in the sentence is the word with, which is incorrect because it should be “common use of.”
