On August 15, 1971 Nixon announced the US would no longer convert dollars to gold, thus completely taking us off of the gold standard.

Three months later, on November 24th, DB Cooper hijacked Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 305, demanded a ransom of $200,000 and four parachutes upon landing in Seattle, then took off and bailed out of the plane over Washington, never to be seen again.

If DB knew how much money was going to be printed, do you think he would have gone to all that trouble for the $200,000?
