Good question.
Mark Moss had a video (that I didn't post because I thought the analysis was a bit sketchy,)about the possibility of the US revaluing the gold that we have certificates for.
It's an interesting idea and in his example of revaluing the certificates to $20k per ounce, the US gains $5T in reserves. That would be highly inflationary, but it is on the table as a financial gimmick.
