<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 966610, member: 26302"]The vault in Ft Knox was opened during the Nixon Administration I believe. It is not, however, the largest holdings in the US, New York is. There are others as well. I have seen The Ft. Knox depository from inside the base. Even inside the base you cannot get within 1,000 feet of the perimeter security. I seriously doubt the Perth mint has anywhere near the gold of the US government. The US didn't even want as much gold as we currently hold, but had to during gold mining boom times to help absorb extra metal and prevent the price from plunging.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, our gold holdings are audited by the GAO, one of the few governmental agencies I would trust. They are willing to take the heat for unpopular decisions, and would speak up if something were amiss. There are some conspiracy theories you can get me to take the time and contemplate, but not this one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

I seriously doubt the Perth mint has anywhere near the gold of the US government. The US didn't even want as much gold as we currently hold, but had to during gold mining boom times to help absorb extra metal and prevent the price from plunging. Btw, our gold holdings are audited by the GAO, one of the few governmental agencies I would trust. They are willing to take the heat for unpopular decisions, and would speak up if something were amiss. There are some conspiracy theories you can get me to take the time and contemplate, but not this one.[/QUOTE]
