U.S. Gold ended in 1996.
The leprechauns bury their gold at the end of the rainbow.
by running out of gold
the time of the gold taken out of the us dollar was 1971MoreThe 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.
Realistically, There is no end to a rainbow, for the reason that a rainbow is a circle of continuous light. Unrealistically, a leprechaun hide gold at the end of a rainbow, at the time no one knowing that there is no end to a rainbow. Why gold? It was a pot of gold because gold was a precious metal and Ireland has no gold, unless imported. Gold being higher than silver in the market. A pot of gold meant lot of $$$
The US stopped using the gold standard in 1973.
Gold mining effects us by the gold fever many people have. ):-(
