The final trigger came in early August when Britain requested roughly $3 billion in gold “cover” for its dollar holdings, following earlier French conversions. On the weekend of August 13–15, Nixon and a small group of advisers met in secret at Camp David and chose to act. Closing the gold window was necessary.
