Back of the envelope calculation

fridge: "Now in 1932 the M1 money supply was $20 billion. The American population in 1932 was 125 million and now it is 270 million. This provides a factor of 270/125 = 2.16. If the old M1 was good enough for Americans in 1932, then perhaps it would be good enough for Americans of today. There are more of us, so I?ll multiply 20 x 2.16 = $43.2 billion."
fridge: "Next, the amount of M1 today is $1,372 billion. M1 has risen by a factor of 1,372/43.2 = 31.76. I?ve taken into account the population growth."
fridge: "Finally, what gold price suffices to monetize this amount of M1? Compute 31.76 x $20.67 = $656."
