Not really, no.
The price of gold was fixed at one rate, and most gold was held by America(75% of the global supply) until 1971. A rate they was used by nearly ever developed country for exchange and trade. You couldn't really just go to your gold guy like you can now. 90% of all gold was custodial until the mid 60s.
