Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 1, Ch. 17]
Instead of paper currency, actual gold coins should be used for exchange, and this will stop prostitution of gold. Gold ornaments for women may be allowed by control, not by quality, but by quantity. This will discourage lust, envy and enmity. When there is actual gold currency in the form of coins, the influence of gold in producing falsity, prostitution, etc., will automatically cease. There will be no need of an anticorruption ministry for another term of prostitution and falsity of purpose.
TEXT 40
अमूनि पञ्च स्थानानि ह्यधर्मप्रभवः कलिः । औत्तरेयेण दत्तानि न्यवसत् तन्निदेशकृत् ॥४०॥
amūni pañca sthānāni hy adharma-prabhavaḥ kaliḥ auttareyeṇa dattāni nyavasat tan-nideśakṛt
amūni —all those;  pañca —five;  sthānāni —places;  hi —certainly;  adharma —irreligious principles;  prabhavaḥ —encouraging;  kaliḥ —the age of Kali;  auttareyeṇa —by the son of Uttarā;  dattāni —delivered;  nyavasat —dwelt;  tat —by him;  nideśakṛt —directed.
TRANSLATION
Thus the personality of Kali, by the directions of Mahārāja Parīkṣit, the son of Uttarā, was allowed to live in those five places.
PURPORT
Thus the age of Kali began with gold standardization, and therefore falsity, intoxication, animal slaughter and prostitution are rampant all over the world, and the saner section is eager to drive out corruption. The counteracting process is suggested above, and everyone can take advantage of this suggestion.
