when did the us go off the gold standard temporarily for the third time?
early 1933
during the great depression, every major currency abandoned the gold standard. among the earliest, the bank of england abandoned the gold standard in 1931 as speculators demanded gold in exchange for currency notes or in settlement of debts, threatening the solvency of the british monetary system. this pattern repeated throughout europe and north america. in the united states, the federal reserve was forced to raise interest rates in order to protect the gold standard for the us dollar, worsening already severe domestic economic pressures. after bank runs became more pronounced in early 1933, people began to hoard gold coins as distrust for banks led to distrust for paper money, worsening deflation and depleting gold reserves.
