Just three years earlier, in 1971, President Richard Nixon had officially ended the convertibility of the U.S. dollar to gold — a policy shift known as the \u003cstrong\u003e\"Nixon Shock\"\u003c\/strong\u003e that effectively concluded the Bretton Woods system and ushered in the modern era of free-floating fiat currency. By 1974, the U.S. dollar was firmly established as a pure fiat currency, no longer redeemable for any precious metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 1974 series specifically carries the signatures of \u003cstrong\u003eFrancine I.
