Then changes occurred in the United States, the period of the 1960s, the balance of payment deficit of U.S. forces emasnya the proposed release of USD 18 billion USD because his French convert to gold and extended the period of the 1970s, America should re-release proposal emasnya of USD 11 billion. American economy was at that time led the world community to believe that less USD.

And in a country that has a strong currency money because the proposal has enough gold as Swiss and German, they changed it to GBP-currency that they CHF and KDC. This can result in short-term debt that is due in the United States reached nearly twice the proposed emasnya.

Bretton Wood system is only able to survive almost 30 years, on August 15, 1971, President Nixon announced a switch to change the value system by letting the value of USD tukarnya floating (Floating Exchange Rate System), this re-emphasized in a conference in Washington on 17 -18 December 1971 (Smithsonian CONFERENCE), from where the birth occurred and floating exchange value up to now.
