RE: Gold: Enemy of the State.
Constitutionally the U.S. Treasury is supposed to, via the U.S. Mint, mint gold and silver coins. The government , the Federal Reserve and Wall Street though definitely do not push or encourage the public to buy gold and silver.
You've established why they sell it in the U.S., but not why other governments do so elsewhere.
The original question stands, if it is such a threat, why would they tolerate it?
@talltim There is a big difference between putting a country's currency on a gold standard and running a mint. Just because some governments mint gold and silver coins does not mean they are in favour of sound weights and measures.
Yes, I agree. I'm just wondering why they bother with selling gold in the first place. Its okay, I am not trying to be bothersome. I honestly don't understand it.
