Now I keep getting (for the dollar amount) $2.07709018 x 10 to the 10th power.
I don’t know how to convert that decimal into a whole number.
And I don’t know if it would equal the total for the dollar amount you came up with.
It might.

This is a fairly recent link. They reckon 5000 tons are stored at Ft. Knox, not my assumed 8000. Thus they calculate the worth at approx. 428 billion. A lot depends upon how much is actually there.
LOL! That is so AWESOME! (I was busy all day - late to the party!)
Post 36 makes a VERY interesting point.
We shall see.....
