“It’s like a modern day gold rush,” said Mary Ellen Withrow, emeritus 40th Treasurer of the United States of America.

That’s because actual Gold Vault Bricks™ still loaded with four 5-ounce Jumbo State Bars layered in valuable 24 Karat Gold bearing the name of the First Bank of the United States of America™ and the state they were once destined for are up for grabs as thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the gold. Now any resident of those states can claim the Gold Vault Bricks for themselves and keep all the valuable gold found inside. That’s four massive bars weighing a full 20 ounces of high demand bullion copper layered in valuable 24 Karat Gold in all.

And here’s the best part. If you live in one of the 4 states listed in today’s publicatio­n you cover only the minimum gold fee set for state residents of just $49 per ounce which totals $980 for the full 20 ounces locked away inside these gold vault bricks. That’s a real steal because residents living outside of the designated 4 states must pay $124 per ounce which totals $2,480 if any remain.

“As special counsel to Federated Mint I earn my pay delivering breaking news. And today’s announceme­nt confirming the release of Gold Vault Bricks to the general public is as big as it gets. Believe me, I know how valuable these Gold Vault Bricks are to resellers, collectors, dealers and anyone else who gets their hands on them,” Withrow said.

“So my advice is this, anyone who gets an opportunit­y to get their hands on one of these Gold Vault Bricks better jump at the chance while they have it,” Withrow said.

“These Gold Vault Bricks loaded with massive 5-ounce Jumbo State Bars layered in valuable 24 Karat Gold make the most impressive gifts for Christmas, birthdays, graduation­s, weddings, and any other occasion, especially for that hard-to-buy-for person,” Withrow said.

According to Ms. Withrow, since thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the gold, today and tomorrow are intended as a “special 48 hour release” for the benefit of persons living in; CT, RI, NY and MA. This gives residents of those states a fair chance to claim the Gold Vault Bricks and all the valuable gold loaded inside for themselves.

But, Ms. Withrow added, “The Gold Vault Bricks are only available as inventory permits during the special 48 hour release so there’s no time to waste.” The emeritus Treasurer added, “Remember this, these Gold Vault Bricks contain a full 20 ounces of high demand bullion copper layered in valuable 24 Karat Gold and we have no power to stop dealers, resellers, collectors and the like from buying up all the Gold Vault Bricks they can get their hands on and reselling them for a big profit,” Withrow said.

Anyone who fails to obtain them during this special 48 hour release may be forced to buy them later in the secondary market from a dealer, reseller or collector at a hefty premium.

”We already know the phones will be ringing off the hook. That’s why hundreds of agents are standing by to answer the phones beginning at 8:30am this morning. We’re going to do our best, but with just 48 hours to answer all the calls it won’t be easy. So make sure to tell everyone to keep calling if all lines are busy. We’ll do our best to answer them all,” Withrow said.

“That’s why Federated Mint set up the State Distributi­on Hotlines in order to make sure residents in the 4 designated states listed in today’s newspaper publicatio­n can get them now,” Withrow said.

The only thing readers of today’s newspaper publicatio­n need to do is make sure they live in one of the 4 states listed in today’s newspaper and call the State Distributi­on Hotlines before the special 48 hour release ends midnight tomorrow.

INDIANAPOL­IS — A steady rain began to fall at Reunion Park in Dallas that night on April 6, 2014, but the thousands of college basketball fans on-hand didn’t seem to mind.

Bruce Springstee­n, after all, was on stage performing a free concert the night before the NCAA tournament’s championsh­ip game — which, of course, was won by UConn.

The Boss will not be performing at this year’s Final Four. And since the entire NCAA tournament is being held in Indiana, it’s worth noting that Hoosier rocker John Mellencamp won’t be performing, either. Or any other major musical artists, for that matter.

There will be no NCAAsancti­oned events at this year’s tournament, and we all know the reason why. COVID-19 hasn’t gone away, vaccinatio­ns are still in their relatively early stages and the world hasn’t gone back to normal quite yet.

UConn returns to an NCAA tournament that will have a very different look from the Huskies’ last trip, in 2016 in Des Moines, Iowa, and certainly from that 2014 run to a fourth title in Dallas.

And yet, a quick trip through Indianapol­is Internatio­nal Airport, down I-70 to downtown reveals a near sense of normalcy in the Circle City. A snazzy blue Indy race car with a Final Four logo and the words “The Road Ends Here” printed on its side greets arrivals in the airport lobby. “March Madness” signs dot the highway, and upon arrival to downtown Indy, it’s impossible to miss the giant NCAA tourney bracket that covers more than half of the 33 floors of the J.W. Marriott hotel.

“The decoration­s on all the street signs, you can’t go anywhere without knowing that there’s a basketball tournament,” Bill Benner, a volunteer for the local organizing committee, noted.

A small amount of fans, bedecked in team gear, milled around the downtown area, but it was still early. The games in Indy don’t begin until Friday (the First Four games on Thursday will be in Bloomingto­n and West Lafayette). More fans will arrive over the next couple of days, and while there won’t be massive crowds clogging the streets, there will be an atmosphere.

Just like there was the prior weekend for the Big Ten tournament.

“I was downtown for the Big Ten semifinals on Saturday,” Benner noted, “and there was a buzz.”

Indeed, a limited number of fans will be allowed at games. Each arena will be allowed 25-percent capacity, which means anywhere from about 15,000 at Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the Colts, to about 1,700 at Indiana Farmers Coliseum.

UConn’s opening-round game on Saturday is at Purdue’s Mackey Arena, nearly two hours down the road in West Lafayette. About 3,701 fans will be allowed in, including UConn’s allotment of 350 tickets. That includes compliment­ary tickets for families of players and staff, as well as tickets prioritize­d for high-level donors and/or season-ticket holders who donated their entire 2020-21 payment to the university.

The only people distinctly lacking around the streets of Indy are players. They are all in the area, divided into five downtown hotels. UConn shares a hotel with 11 other teams. But they are being strictly quarantine­d, unable to leave their respective hotels except for practices or games.
