(April 2009) A monetary system is anything that is accepted as a standard of value and measure of wealth in a particular region.[1] However, the current trend is to use international trade and investment to alter the policy and legislation of individual governments. The best recent example of this policy is the European Union's creation of the euro as a common currency for many of its individual states. Modern currencies are linked to physical commodities (silver or gold).
