I am not sure if these numbers are correct but from Wikipedia USA gold holdings are stated as 8,133.5 metric tonnes. Tonne of gold is worth roughly US$48.86 million at US$1,519 per oz (rough numbers). So that's only US$397.4 Billion (assuming the report is correct and I didn't mess the calculation). Doesn't seem enough to return to the gold standard unless they got creative in a way that I can't think of.

Very interesting talk on the subject with Ron Paul titled:
"Return Of The Gold Standard? Why Now?" a bit old but still interesting.
