I want to know the reason why Krugerrands were banned. There must have been some specific circumstances or issues that led to this decision. I'm curious about the background and reasons for this ban.

This ban was not only a political statement but also had economic implications, as it disrupted the Flow of gold from South Africa to the US market.
