ID: 1296 | Money
A private money system with real bills and gold standard is preferable to a fiat money system under government control.
Real bills are bills of exchange issued in payment of the delivery of goods or services, payable no later than 3 months' time. The holder can get it discounted against bank notes (sight bills), the bank can re-discount it with the central bank (currently for fiat money, formerly for gold coin).
