Anyone have any details on what the exceptions were:
A year earlier, in 1933, Executive Order 6102 had made it a criminal offense for U.S. citizens to own or trade gold anywhere in the world, with exceptions for some jewelry and collector's coins.

Like how much jewelry?
- david927 5y agoAny amount. The idea was that owning wasn't really the problem, they just didn't want you easily trading it. So you could have a huge statue of solid gold and it wouldn't be a problem but a handful of 'junk' Krugerrands -- yeah, that would be a big problem. The former is an asset, the latter is currency.
