1934 8 10 Roosevelt Nationalizes Silver

ANSWER: Sorry, you lose. He should have been at one among my conferences once we mentioned that if he informed you to ask me. Most individuals have by no means heard that Roosevelt additionally confiscated silver – not simply gold. On August ninth, 1934, U.S. President Franklin D.

This was the identical abuse of govt energy as Govt Order 6102, which FDR signed on April fifth, 1933, “forbidding the Hoarding of Gold Coin, Gold Bullion, and Gold Certificates within the continental United States” with some variations.

In a well-known letter to U.S. Secretary of the Treasury L.M. Shaw, dated December 27, 1904, Teddy Roosevelt acknowledged, “I think the state of our coinage is artistically of atrocious hideousness. Would it be possible, without asking permission of Congress, to employ a man like [Augustus] Saint-Gaudens to give us a coinage which would have some beauty?”  He noticed the traditional cash as magnificent artworks unprecedented in numismatic historical past. Teddy noticed the ancients as inspiration.
