Sale of gold - it won't happen:

1) Who would buy it?
2) In what form would it be delivered?

The only honest way to do it would be for the CBs to mint the gold into coins of the same '9999 purity and exchange the coins for local currency. Maybe there would be a univeral coin. The public would then be free to trade the coins. Anything else would be fraud or robbery. But the value would swiftly become market value not face value. Good money driving out bad, and all that. Gold would then be a bottom line savings and investment vehicle. And it would trade.

But the idea would never fly in Washington and in other capitals - because it would put the spotlight on the fiat and its credibility and fallibility.

PS. BTW cna you print chapter and verse on your source - to show it isn't a hoax - re which BTW a lot of people have risen to take the bait?
