First Historic Perspective from Wikipedia:

 

Franklin Delenor Roosevelt, also known as FDR, was the 32nd president of the United States, serving from 1933 until his death in 1945.  He is the longest-serving U.S. president, and the only one to have served more than two terms. His first two terms were centered on combating the Great Depression, while his third and fourth saw him shift his focus to America's involvement in World War II. 

 

Despite the fact that people knew he was paralyzed from the waist down from polio in 1921, he maintianed his public image by miraculously "staging" standing during public speeches and keeping the wheel chair out of sight.  It wasn't until 1950 when the tv was mass produced for initially for 6 million household and increasing each year after that. With tv, even better staging is possible.

 

During his first 100 days as president, Roosevelt spearheaded unprecedented federal legislation and directed the federal government during most of the Great Depression, implementing the New Deal, building the New Deal coalition, and realigning American politics into the Fifth Party System. He created numerous programs to provide relief to the unemployed and farmers while seeking economic recovery with the National Recovery Administration and other programs. He also instituted major regulatory reforms related to finance, communications, and labor, and presided over the end of Prohibition.

 

In 1936, Roosevelt won a landslide reelection. Major surviving programs and legislation implemented under Roosevelt include the Securities and Exchange Commission, the National Labor Relations Act, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and Social Security.

 

In 1940, he ran successfully for reelection, before the official implementation of term limits.

 

He was criticized for ordering the internment of Japanese Americans and his issuance of Executive Order 6102, which mandated the largest gold confiscation in American history.

 

Nonetheless, historical rankings consistently place him among the three greatest American presidents, and he is often considered an icon of American liberalism.

 

Executive Order 6102, April 5, 1933, significantly restricted private ownership of gold in the United States.  The order was controversial and upset many people, and was finally repealed after decades in 1974.

 

Its important to note, the order was mostly designed to stop hoarding of gold.  The federal government made no effort to hunt down people who quietly ignored the order.

 

In the United States, there are no federal restrictions on the amount of gold an individual can own. Whether you're drawn to the allure of gold jewelry, investing in bullion, or collecting coins, you're free to accumulate as much gold as your heart desires.

 

However, under current federal law, gold bullion can be confiscated by the federal government in times of national crisis. Whereas collectibles, rare coins do not fall within the provisions permitting confiscation.

 

Since gold can generally maintain its value, its  more reliable when compared to cash. Therefore, if your main objective is to protect your wealth during uncertain times, it would be best to keep the precious metal.
