| In 1971, the US abandoned the gold standard. Many nations' central banks continued to hold US dollars, due in part to the petrodollar. |
In 1971 the US abandoned the gold standard after holders of dollars, concerned about currency inflation due to the rapid creation of dollars due to the Vietnam War started buying gold. This might have caused a large amount of capital flight away from the US dollar, but the petrodollar system stimulated a replacement demand, and several other currencies followed suit to leave the gold standard, rendering them equally suspect as inflation proof investments.
