in early 1900's before the 1929 collapse of the british pound ,
Gold coins were used as a standard currency within US . in Europe , the gold coin was used side by side to the sterling pound .
first in 1913 the federal reserves bank was formed .
And they took the right of money supply to US .
Then the pound collapsed as lost its crown as the BASE CURRENCY , into the hand of the dollar in 1929 great depression.
in 1933 , the american congress , bank of England and federal reserves formed a LAW .
that Gold coins would NOT be used in the country , and the citizens are BOUND to submit their gold coins to the state banks ,
and as an exchange , take away 20$ for every ounce of gold they would deposit .
as it was LAW , everyone submitted their gold to their respective state banks , and took 20$ for every ounce .
then again in 1935 they lift the ban on using gold as a currency ,
that now the public can get back their gold and use it ,
but this time , they were selling back the GOLD , @ 35$ per ounce . and this became the starting point of exchange value of gold.
so just in case u missed it ,
do the calculation , they have already vanished 40% of the gold back in 1935 .
and this is what was called the GOLDSMITH FRAUD of 1935 .
and now the story begins in new dimension , in which all of us are well aware..
