So "real" money did they mean gold?

Well, as an American I don't have that problem. Also, I have delt with buying stuff from over there. A few places were able to display the price in US$ using a dynamic web page. There was usually an asterisk next to the US price that stated it was based on current exchange rates and your CC/Bank may use a slightly different rate.
