I believe what FDR did was prohibit the opening of all safe deposit boxes

The boxes had to opened under the eye of federal agents who confiscated all gold bullion and coins (except some collectibles I believe)

Everybody received one day about $25/once for their gold

The next day the price was hiked to around $35
