Description |
English: The United States monetary system used to be on the gold standard. People used gold coins, as well as paper currency which was backed by gold. When gold started arriving in Seattle from the Klondike in 1898, the government opened an assay office to buy gold and to certify its purity. This photo, taken around 1899, shows the U.S. Assay Office and its staff. Caption by MOHAI staff.
