Executive Order 6102 required all persons to deliver on or before May 1, 1933, all but a small amount of gold coin, gold bullion, and gold certificates owned by them to the Federal Reserve in exchange for $20.67 (equivalent to $487 in 2023)[7] per troy ounce. Under the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917, as amended by the recently passed Emergency Banking Act of March 9, 1933, a violation of the order was punishable by fine up to $10,000 (equivalent to $235,000 in 2023),[7] up to ten years in prison, or both.

It won't work this time. People who own bullion would rather dump the stuff in the Mariana Trench than give it to the government.

It's not quite the Rubicon, but gold crossed $2500 at closing on Friday:
From about $250 in 2000 to $2500 today. Not bad for a lump of metal. But muh Bitcoin . . . suck on a tulip bulb.
