Likely because back in the depression era, very few people actually held onto physical gold. Likely only the wealthiest people held physical gold.

I had no idea how that even passed through. He effectively robbed gold from wealthy congressmen, governors, military leaders, etc.

Governments and mafias are in the same line of work. The current system is a fusion of the post-Capone Syndicate mafia, the robber barons, and the original republic. This is only a couple generations later.

"It's an emergency!" "There's a war on!" All bullshit excuses to strip rights. But the issue is bigger than that, and smaller. Have you ever met your so-called representatives? Seriously. Do you not know what they're up to? Who they are? What they want? Does that seem right to you?
