SUMMARY

The year owning gold became a federal crime. The safe deposit boxes opened under supervision.

FULL DOSSIER

Executive Order 6102 (April 5, 1933): FDR criminalized private gold holding above small amounts, requiring surrender at $20.67/oz; the 1934 Gold Reserve Act then revalued gold to $35 — a documented 69% devaluation executed against citizens who had just surrendered their metal, upheld in the Gold Clause Cases (1935, 5-4). Repealed 1974. The node is the money file's precedent entry: confiscation is not a hypothetical in US history but an executive order with a docket number, which is why every gold-and-CBDC anxiety cites it.
