The US Treasury still values its gold at $42 an ounce, a price set by Congress in 1973 and never updated. Gold trades above $4,000 today, a gap of roughly 95 times on the government's books. New bills in Congress would require repricing that gold at market value and allow the first audit of US gold reserves in more than 65 years, reversing course from Nixon's 1971 move to cut the dollar loose from gold.
