Not sure if the precious metals can be suppressed anymore than they are. Not at all time highs, btw, especially when adjusted for inflation.
I believe FDR did it with a stroke of a pen during the depression. Maybe you trade it in a set low price, gave a deadline, made illegal to own then the price went right back up after they took it from you.
he devalued the dollar with a stroke of a pen, by making a gold ounce worth $35 instead of $20, so you doubled your dollars if you owned gold during that!
the catch was he made owning gold illegal before doing that and stole everyone's GOLD out of the banks!!
