The US stopped using the gold standard in 1973.
The gold standard effectively ended during the Great Depression when countries abandoned it to pursue more flexible monetary policies. In the United States, President Franklin D. Roosevelt took the U.S. off the gold standard in 1933, restricting gold ownership and allowing the government to inflate the currency. The Bretton Woods system established in 1944 temporarily linked currencies to gold, but it ultimately collapsed in 1971 when President Richard Nixon announced the suspension of dollar convertibility into gold, marking the transition to a fiat currency system.
The "gold bugs" were a faction within the Democratic Party in the late 19th century that advocated for the gold standard as opposed to the bimetallism favored by the broader party. They believed that backing the U.S. dollar solely with gold would stabilize the economy and strengthen the currency. Their candidate for president in the 1896 election was William McKinley, who supported the gold standard, in contrast to the Democratic nominee, William Jennings Bryan, who championed bimetallism.
