U.S. senators want to target Russia's gold reserves
Source: Kitco News
A group of bipartisan U.S. senators is introducing a bill that would curb Russia's ability to liquidate its gold reserves as escalating sanctions are hurting the country's economy.
The legislation aims to deter the buying of Russian gold.
"The free world's sanctions are devastating Russia's economy — and as long as Putin continues his unprovoked and horrific invasion of Ukraine, we must keep up the pressure," said Senator Angus King (I-Maine) in a statement. "Russia's massive gold supply is one of the few remaining assets that Putin can use to keep his country's economy from falling even further."

With you!!
(for years) 
(1 ounce ones and I think I have a 10 ounce one too) plus a bunch of 1 ounce silver Eagles - all back when silver was like $5/ounce. Just checked and it's running ~$27/ounce. 
But I also remember Max Robinson on ABC announcing the gold and silver prices and how silver had hit $50/ounce - this was around 1979/1980. It apparently happened again in 2011.
I have a doubled gym tube sock full of ingots and silver Eagles. Bought them when silver was ~$5/ounce (although the dealer I used did a markup on the coins which I think is typical).
I had also bought a 1 ounce American gold Eagle that I hid away so well that I can't find it.
I think I paid something like $400 for it at the time and it's obviously worth well over $2000/ounce now but has been up that high several times over the years.
I also have one 1989 $100 EE bond left un-cashed. They don't even do those anymore.
been tying to shake the Krugerrands out of his giant Elvis bobblehead piggy bank for nothing? Life ain't fair man, just ain't fair.
Disclaimer- I spent 10 minutes trying to figure out if I should use "fare" or "fair". I'm still not sure. It's a fare... wait fair... subject to ponder... fuck it.
