historic definition...

Movable exchange -- If foreign exchange is quoted and also is payable in the money of the country where collection is to be made it is called movable exchange. For instance, exchange on Paris is quoted in francs in New York and is therefore movable exchange. The dollar is the basis and the franc fluctuates instead of the dollar in which it is reckoned. The opposite of movable exchange is fixed exchange ; see Fixed exchange.
