Always best to search through your families belongings before selling them off to someone else and especially the government.

    This ties nicely into the prior discussion of the revaluation of the French Franc in 1960. French who were adults at that time (now 80 +) really did stash gold in their mattresses -- or in this case, their jelly jars. However, as trust for banks improved, so did the French economy.
