<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 321187, member: 3011&quot;]It&#039;s paranoia.&nbsp; Gold was confiscated back then because it was money and the government desired to switch to a purely fiat currency system.&nbsp; Now, gold is a commodity.&nbsp; The government could just as easily go around ripping the copper pipe out of people&#039;s homes, or collecting wedding bands, or confiscating agricultural commodities -- all seem to be low probability events.&nbsp; I&#039;m pretty sure federal agents aren&#039;t going to perform a house-to-house search of everyone in the country looking for coin collections.&nbsp; If they do, foreign gold won&#039;t protect you.&nbsp; In the very unlikely event that the government decides they need gold [for what purpose nobody knows because they don&#039;t use it for anything anymore], they&#039;ll probably just take it out of the gold ETFs and Comex warehouses.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
