Government confiscated the public’s gold years ago. Is it a rumor? Could it happen again? This is an issue that comes up time and again with gold investors. Rather than speculate, we believe it’s best to consider the facts. Below is a timeline that explains exactly what happened and, more importantly, how today’s investors should react and what they can do to make sure they’re prepared, in case it happens again. President Roosevelt’s Executive Order 6102 required U. In 1954 the Treasury Department amended the Gold Regulations of the original Executive Order to enable the continuance of the exemption of rare coins from the gold confiscation provisions, and they expanded the definition of “coins” with a recognized special value to collectors of rare and unusual coins to include gold coin made prior to April 5th, 1933 (Federal Register 4309, 4312 1954, as codified in 31 CFR Section 54.20). On December 31, 1974, with Executive Order 11825, President Gerald Ford repealed the Executive Order that Roosevelt used to call in gold in 1933. This was necessary because on the same day Congress restored Americans’ right to own gold. The limitation on gold ownership in the U. Was repealed after President Ford signed a bill legalizing private ownership of gold coins, bars and certificates by an act of Congress codified in Pub. L 93-373 which went into effect December 31, 1974. That is, contracts remained unenforceable if they used gold monetarily rather than as a commodity of trade. However, the Act of Oct. 95-147, § 4(c), 91 Stat. 1227, 1229 originally codified at 31 U. § 463 note, recodified as amended at 31 U. § 5118(d)(2) amended the 1933 Joint Resolution and made it clear that parties could again include so-called gold clauses in contracts formed after 1977. President Reagan signed into law the Gold Bullion Coin act which allowed the US Mint to produce gold coins from “newly mined domestic sources”. Gold American Eagles went on to become one of the most well known gold coins. Gold Confiscation in the Future. So the question remains; could it happen again? Of course it is possible; it has been done before and governments in times of stress simply change the laws. Then in 1974, that executive order was repealed. Furthermore, in 1977, Congress removed the president’s authority to regulate gold except during a national emergency of war. It is true that numismatic collector type coins were excluded in the 1933 confiscation. Whether or not they will again be excluded in any future confiscation is completely unknown. There is a logical thought process for excluding collector coins, in that the government was trying to obtain monetary control of gold bullion. The government had no interest in rare and unusual coins of special value to collectors. However, what the government has done in the past is not necessarily indicative of what they will do in the future. It was repealed, but it could happen again in the future. Laws can and do change.
