In Russia there is "hidden" RUR with currency code 810 backed by ~1g of gold still popping up here and there when your money flow through bank system not available to us and "regular" RUB with currency code 643 backed with nothing we allowed to use.
Try to search in bank bills, checks or other papers traces of real US dollar, it should have another currency code than well-known "USD" with currency code 840. Quick search show some US dollar "USN" with code 997, "USS" with code 998 and few other US dollars. May be in some official US or Federal Reserve papers you will find one with gold-backing.
Check if your payments change the currency code during the way trough bank system.
And so on. I think it is a huge rabbit hole to follow.
Exactly the same situation with money in Russia. I wrote about it in details in comment here - https://conspiracies.win/p/15HIAhDSug/x/c/4OVyJ5ZmLnq
