You might think this is ‘your money’ but it has strings attached.

There was a time that physical gold was thought to be proof against seizure, but that fiction ended in 1933.

****In 1933 approximately 500 tonnes of gold were turned in to the Treasury “voluntarily” at the exchange rate of $20.67 per troy ounce.****

HOLY S**T!!! Someone do the math!
32,150 troy ounces = 1 metric ton (1,000 kilos)

Was all that loot spent on WWII??
