Answer: The dates the US went off the gold standard and completely severed links to it differ. Upon taking office in March 1933, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt departed from the gold standard. The US went off the gold standard on June 5, 1933, but still allowed foreign governments to trade gold for dollars. It wasn't until 1971 that the US completely severed any link to the gold standard.
