ANECDOTE

Childhood Gold Discovery

Lynette Zang recounts seeing her uncle's safes full of pre-1933 $20 gold coins as a child.
She connects that early exposure to hard assets with her lifelong focus on gold and monetary history.

INSIGHT

Gold Removal Shifted Power

Removing gold from circulation removed public financial power and was effectively a hidden tax, Lynette argues.
She explains the public adapted to Federal Reserve notes, feeling unchanged while real control shifted to debt-based money.

INSIGHT
