Back in the late 1960 's , when Great Society deficits and the Vietnam War prompted the first serious sell-off of dollars -LRB- and forced the United States to abandon the gold standard because too many holders of dollars , led by President Charles de Gaulle of France , wanted gold -RRB- , those central banks lent those dollars into the new Eurodollar market , where they traded somewhat separately from domestic dollars .
