When did the US get rid of silver certificate dollar bills?
1964 was the last year they printed silver certificates, although they were dated 1957 B. Until 1968 it was possible to exchange your silver certificate for its face value in silver dollars or the equivalent in silver bullion/coins. However, since 1968 they have become fiat money and somewhat of a collector's item. They are no longer convertible for silver and can be found rarely in change.

What year was all gold backing removed from the US dollar bill?
August 15, 1971 by President Richard Nixon. It was supposed to be a temporary suspension that just never got reinstated. It was suspended because other countries suspected the US of printing more money than we had Gold reserves. The idea was that other countries could back their currencies with dollars instead of gold since the dollar was backed by gold. Once the gold standard was suspended all currencies became fiat currencies. If the US economy collapses and the dollar hyper inflates the economy of the world will also collapse. And most currency will become worthless. See End of the Road: How Money Became Worthless for more information.

Tax purpose in taxation?
The purpose of taxation in fiat monetary system has nothing to do with funding. This is a common misconception. Any funds that are required, can be simply printed. Unlike a monetary system that is based on intrinsically valued money, fiat system never has any shortage of money, by definition. I know, that in millions upon millions of articles, and "pedias", funding is always given as a main reason. The true reason for taxation in fiat monetary system, is to force everyone to use the fiat money. This is why one can not pay his taxes in gold or silver, even though gold is hoarded by central banks around the world. Taxes are only accepted in the fiat of the issuance of the taxing authority. By doing so, the tax payer has no choice but to acquire required amount of fiat money, thus creating a demand for that particular kind of fiat. If there was no taxation, nobody would use fiat money. And on the other hand, if tax was accepted only in worn underwear (for instance), then that worn underwear would become the money in circulation. Without heavy taxation, the people would use something that has an intrinsic value as money, and not fiat. This is because by using fiat, one constantly loses his purchasing power, as compared to using say, gold as money. To underscore, the real purpose of taxation in fiat monetary system is to force the people to use the kind of money that is less suitable to be used as money, namely fiat paper notes of central bank. Everything else is simply a misdirection.
Why is the British pound always worth more than the US dollar?
Because the British Pound is backed by something of actual value, silver. The US Dollar is not on the gold or silver standard (it used to be), therefore, it is called a fiat money system. When the US economy is in a downward spiral so follows the US currency. Much more needs to be said about our fiat money system and how the Federal Reserve charges our own government (when the FED is suppose to be part of the US government) high interest rates to loan itself money. Again, this is only part of the equation that will keep (and has kept) the US Dollar lower than the British Pound.
