Whether gold could be confiscated

Some people think that anti-American policies could lead to a currency crisis. Large national debts can lead to a currency crisis. That, in turn, could raise thoughts of confiscating gold from investors. In 1998, for example, South Korea called on its people to donate gold to the government. The appeal was very successful. The government in China recently tried again to motivate its citizens to buy gold. If the population of the own country possesses much gold, this could be useful. Gold reserves are an important element of reserve diversification for governments. And China is striving to build up large gold reserves. So "storing gold by the people" is China’s motto right now. If a country is flirting with a gold-backed currency, there should be plenty of gold. After all, the more gold, the more banknotes, and the greater the power. In Australia, by the way, the confiscation of gold and silver is enshrined in law.

There were gold bans in several democratic countries in the 20th century, for example in the USA in 1933 or in France in 1936 or in India in 1963. In Great Britain, a law was passed in 1966 stating that British citizens could own no more than four gold coins, and the rest would have to be surrendered. The government at the time wanted to counteract the decline in the state’s gold reserves. In 1971, this law was repealed again. So gold is always in the interest of governments and of investors. In any case, you should not go wrong with the stocks of solid gold companies. Gold, moreover, copper in the projects own GoldMining or Torq Resources.
