News Date: August 17, 2022

On 15 August 1971, US President Richard Nixon officially announced that the country was completely abandoning the gold standard.
This meant that the US government abandoned the convertibility of US dollars into gold at a fixed rate of $35 per ounce.
The government simply could not meet the demand to exchange dollars received for goods and services for gold.
The jubilee in its original, biblical meaning when once in 50 years the sold and mortgaged lands were returned to their original owners, slaves and prisoners of war were freed, debts were forgiven, and the land rested from fieldwork.
Why not, 2022 may be the year for the return of the gold standard.

Gold Standard on Kremlin Desk

Russian president Vladimir Putin is discussing the idea of pegging the Ruble to gold And Commodities.
If approved this would directly link Russia's currency to gold bullion for the first time in more than a century.

However, the governor of Russia's central bank, Elvira Nabiullina, told reporters the idea was "not being discussed in any way".
