30 Jan 1934 Jahr - Gold Reserve Act

Beschreibung:

The United States Gold Reserve Act of January 30, 1934 required that all gold and gold certificates held by the Federal Reserve be surrendered and vested in the sole title of the United States Department of the Treasury. It also prohibited the Treasury and financial institutions from redeeming dollars for gold, established the Exchange Stabilization Fund under control of the Treasury to control the dollar’s value without the assistance (or approval) of the Federal Reserve, and authorized the president to establish the gold value of the dollar by proclamation.[1][2]

Immediately following passage of the Act, the President Franklin D. Roosevelt changed the statutory price of gold from $20.67 per troy ounce to $35.
