>AI says there weren't really any reports of protests. Can anyone verify?
Converting dollars into gold was something only foreigners did, since FDR had made it illegal for Americans to own gold coin or bullion back in the 30s. So I'm not seeing any reason citizens would have protested that loophole being closed. And did anyone even protest when FDR stole all their gold during the depression?
