I really know of no one in our family that turned in gold in the 30’s. They simply kept it at home. Some turned it in because paper currency was very dear during the depression and many needed the currency to purchase the necessities. In the coming inflation this will not be the case. Currency will be come almost worthless and no one will turn the valuable gold in to the government.
