https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lend-Lease#Repayment

"While repayment of the interest-free loans was required after the end of 
the war under the act, in practice the U.S. did not expect to be repaid by 
the USSR after the war. The U.S. received $2M in reverse Lend-Lease from the 
USSR. This was mostly in the form of landing, servicing, and refueling of 
transport aircraft; some industrial machinery and rare minerals were sent to 
the U.S. The U.S. asked for $1.3B at the cessation of hostilities to settle 
the debt, but was only offered $170M by the USSR. The dispute remained 
unresolved until 1972, when the U.S. accepted an offer from the USSR to 
repay $722M linked to grain shipments from the U.S., with the remainder 
being written off. During the war the USSR provided an unknown number of 
shipments of rare minerals to the US Treasury as a form of cashless 
repayment of Lend-Lease. This was agreed upon before the signing of the 
first protocol on October 1, 1941 and extension of credit. Some of these 
shipments were intercepted by the Germans. In May 1942, HMS Edinburgh was 
sunk while carrying 4.5 tonnes of Soviet gold intended for the U.S. 
Treasury. This gold was salvaged in 1981 and 1986.[75] In June 1942, SS Port 
Nicholson was sunk en route from Halifax, Nova Scotia to New York, allegedly 
with Soviet platinum, gold, and industrial diamonds aboard; the wreck was 
discovered in 2008.[76] However, none of this cargo has been salvaged, and 
no documentation of its treasures has been produced."
