Historical Context
Currency exchange has evolved from the gold standard system to today's floating exchange rates. The Bretton Woods system established after World War II pegged currencies to the US dollar, which was convertible to gold. This system collapsed in 1971, leading to the modern floating exchange rate system where currencies are traded freely in the foreign exchange market.
