the time of the gold taken out of the us dollar was 1971

MoreThe US went off the gold standard in stages. Use of gold in coins ended in 1933 when the government outlawed private ownership of gold and increased its controlled price as part of efforts to end the Great Depression. In 1971 President Nixon ended all controls on the metal's price, allowing it to float and ending its use as backing for the US dollar.

What year was all gold backing removed from the US dollar bill?

August 15, 1971 by President Richard Nixon. It was supposed to be a temporary suspension that just never got reinstated. It was suspended because other countries suspected the US of printing more money than we had Gold reserves. The idea was that other countries could back their currencies with dollars instead of gold since the dollar was backed by gold. Once the gold standard was suspended all currencies became fiat currencies. If the US economy collapses and the dollar hyper inflates the economy of the world will also collapse. And most currency will become worthless. See End of the Road: How Money Became Worthless for more information.
