No country currently backs its currency with gold, but many have in the past, including the U.S.; for half a century beginning in 1879, Americans could trade in $20.67 for an ounce of gold. The country effectively abandoned the gold standard in 1933, and completely severed the link between the dollar and gold in 1971. The U.S. now has a fiat money system, meaning the dollarâs value is not linked to any specific asset.
In short, the gold standard was a force for stability. Britain, the first industrialized power, adopted the gold standard around 1820. The United States did not follow suit until 1873 (the Coinage Act of 1873, or known to its critics as the Crime of '73). France and Germany followed shortly thereafter.
