First nobody in this day and age is going to turn in their gold. If you haven’t hoarded cash away by now well......

In 1933 A lot of people didn’t turn in their gold.

I was pretty proud of the $3 gold coin I got from my grandfather, imagining him to have held it illegally against FDR's gold confiscation orders (I tried to squash any mental comparisons to Bruce Willis's watch in Pulp Fiction). Later I found out that private citizens could keep $100 or 5 troy ounces each and that coin was about 1/7 of an ounce.
