> You were “allowed” to keep jewelry and such ( his executive order ordered all gold coins and gold certificates in denominations of more than $100 turned in for other money. It required all persons to deliver all gold coin, gold bullion and gold certificates owned by them to the Federal Reserve by May 1 for the set price of $20.67 per ounce. By May 10, the government had taken in $300 million of gold coin and $470 million of gold certificates.) . Of course people still kept their gold, but they couldn’t use it- unless you knew somebody who could melt it down and turn it into jewelry.
thanks.
there must be thousands of people out there, each holding hundreds of gold coins of various weights. that would total many tons of gold. i am just having difficulty imagining such gold bugs complying with an executive order from a president biden/harris/nuisance, trading in real hard gold for everyone-realizes-soon-to-be-devalued paper money. it would imaginably result in an underground barter market. (i could be wrong.)
That's exactly what would happen if the dollar collapses. You just have to look at the USSR after it collapsed. That is what people were doing.
Future .gov is five steps ahead of you.
It is a national emergency.
North America is at war with Eurasia.
Every American must do his part and buy war bonds while turning in your gold.
If you fail to do so you are an enemy of the people and must wear a yellow star.
Children are taught in school to turn in any parents who are not patriots.
24/7 “Public Service Announcement” ads run giving numbers to call to turn in your unpatriotic neighbor.
The slogan “Our enemy is not just over there. They could be next door.”

This is too easy.....
