In October it will be possible to buy equities in Switzerland with gold. They say it is a world's first time event. I would think that back in the early 1900's you could buy stocks with gold coins. This must be a modern day post-invasive government first anyhow.

Kids forget anything that happened before they were 30.
I think the difference is mainly technical. When money = gold, you could pay in gold coins, denominated in $. This says that you can contract in gold, denominated in oz.

For example, bid per 100 shares is 1 oz, ask is 1.02 oz. If your bid is accepted, you can pay with a krand, maple, AGE or a handful of coins that add up to 1 oz gold weight. The price of gold that day doesn't matter, except perhaps to make change if you have 1.01 oz.
Rest in Peace

For the record, krands are non-denominated legal tender. Their "face value" is the second London fix, IIRC. In SA, you must accept them in payment at that fix.

Sovereigns (£1) don't show a denomination or even a country on many made in GB, but I think they're legal tender at £1.
