Answer to Question 1

Under the gold standard, exchange rates were determined by the relative amounts of gold in each country's currency. Both the gold standard and Bretton Woods systems were fixed exchange rate systems, but people were able to redeem paper currency for gold domestically only under the gold standard.

Answer to Question 2

M2 will not change and M1 will rise by 1,000. When under your mattress, the 1,000 would be counted as currency. Going from a savings account to currency would raise M1, but both are part of M2, so M2 would not change.
