some that should have been turned in in the 1930’s when FDR stole individual’s gold.

How the hell did that even happen.

Tell me again, how America is free.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_Clause_Cases

The Gold Clause Cases were a series of actions brought before the Supreme Court of the United States, in which the court narrowly upheld restrictions on the ownership of gold implemented by the administration of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt in order to fight the Great Depression. The last in this series of cases is notable as the most recent Supreme Court opinion whose outcome was leaked to the press before the official release of its decision. The cases were:

Norman v. Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Co.
United States v. Bankers Trust Co., 294 U.S. 240 (1935)
Nortz v. United States, 294 U.S. 317 (1935)
Perry v. United States, 294 U.S. 330 (1935)

I toured an old gold dredge up a creek in Idaho. In the 30s and 40s when they got 65 pounds of gold, they would pour a brick then put it on the floorboard of a pickup and drive to the post office. The postman would paste an address label on it and send it unwrapped to the Denver mint without fear of theft because gold was illegal to hold then.
