People that handed it over are fucking idiots...
"What gold, officer?"
That didn't actually happen. FDR had an executive order, which only concerns FEDERAL AGENCIES. A president CANNOT make LAW, ONLY congress can do that.
Most people just ignored it, NOt one single person ever went to prison or was fined.
The biggest problem was that it REMOVED gold from citizens and gave it to Bankers. The bankers have been using it as money between themselves and using paper debt as money for everything else.
