Executive order: By virtue of the authority vested in me by Section 5(B) of The Act of Feb. 6, 2009, aka, The Stimulus Bill, as amended by section 2 of the Act of March 9, 2009, in which Congress declared that a serious emergency exists, I as President, do declare that the national emergency still exists; That the continued private hoarding of gold and silver by subjects of the United States poses a grave threat to the peace, equal justice, and well-being of the United States; and that appropriate measures must be taken immediately to protect the interests of our people. "Therefore, pursuant to the above authority, I hereby proclaim that such gold and silver holdings are prohibited, and that all such coin, bullion or other possessions of gold and silver be tendered within thirty days to agents of the Government of the United States for compensation at the official price, in the legal tender of the Government. All safe deposit boxes in banks or financial institutions have been sealed, pending action in the due course of the law. All sales or purchases or movements of such gold and silver within the borders of the United States and its territories, and all foreign exchange transactions or movements of such metals across the border are hereby prohibited. "Your possession of these proscribed metals and/or your maintenance of a safe-deposit box to store them is known to the Government from bank and insurance records. Therefore, be advised that your vault box must remain sealed, and may only be opened in the presence of an agent of The Internal Revenue Service. "By lawful Order given this day, April 1, 2009, Barack Obama, the President of the United States."  |

I think this was the letter from 1933 and just changed to this years date because the wording is exact except for the date, here is the original
"By virtue of the authority vested in me by Section 5 (b) of the Act of October 6, 1917, as amended by Section 2 of the Act of March 9, 1933 ?, in which Congress declared that a serious emergency exists, I as President, do declare that the national emergency still exists; that the continued private hoarding of gold and silver by subjects of the United States poses a grave threat to the peace, equal justice, and well-being of the United States; and that appropriate measures must be taken immediately to protect the interests of our people."
Therefore, pursuant to the above authority, I hereby proclaim that such gold and silver holdings are prohibited, and that all such coin, bullion or other possessions of gold and silver be tendered within fourteen days to agents of the Government of the United States for compensation at the official price, in the legal tender of the Government.
All safe deposit boxes in banks or financial institutions have been sealed, pending action in the due course of the law. All sales or purchases or movements of such gold and silver within the borders of the United States and its territories and all foreign exchange transactions or movements of such metals across the border are hereby prohibited.

for compensation at the official price, in the legal tender of the Government I do hope you like copper because our dearly beloved President has asked me to reimburse you ate the rate of 5 copper one cent coins per pound of silver and 10 copper one cent coins per pound for gold. all other coinage including platinum will be reimbursed at 2 one cent coins per pound.

Possible again at some point in time. It is ilegal to own gold in some 40 plus countries and owning gold in the U.S. is not a right but permitted at this time. This is why some people invest in old gold coins as they were excluded when the US wanted its citizens to turn in their gold.
