Monetary System and Central Banking Milestones

Deliberate decisions and conferences that built or restructured the institutions and rules governing money and international exchange, rather than a crisis those institutions later had to manage. Belongs here: the founding of a central bank, an international monetary agreement, a change in exchange-rate regime or benchmark monetary policy, or an early milestone in the history of paper currency itself, considered as an institutional milestone. Does not belong here: a crisis event that prompted such an institution into action, grouped under whichever crisis category the episode itself belongs to.
