用法筆記
Frequently used in attributive position before nouns such as currency, money, notes, and paper. The predicative pattern (e.g. 'the currency is inconvertible') is less common but acceptable. In modern economics, inconvertibility typically refers to restrictions on exchanging a national currency for foreign currencies, not just for gold or coin.
