How much gold is in Fort Knox and who owns it? Enough and TOTUS plans to own it all as soon as the coup is complete and he is ruler of the world.

Just to set some ballpark figures:

The US Mint’s blurb figure for US holdings in Fort Knox gives 147.3 million oz, which is 4,600 toms.

http://money.howstuffworks.com/question213.htm gives a value of 1,555 tons of gold production a year, as of recent years — the article is undated but references a spot price of $256 an doz. Maybe 1998-2000.

http://hubpages.com/hub/Cash4Gold-How-Much-Gold-Is-Left-To-Mine-In-America gives a total gold ever mined figure of 158,000 tons, as of 2006. Where’d they get that figure? Unknown, but it’s consistent with other estimates of that total, from Wiki, Kitco, etc.

Wiki gives total US gold holdings as 8,134 tons. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Official_gold_reserves

But the key question is where’s the independent audit?

It’s OUR gold.

The Question should be HOW Much Gold is actually contained in the vaults in Fort Knox .This country is in so much debt the government would have to sell most of it to get us out of debt.

It is probably a state secret, so the peons have no reason for knowing. If we knew, we might not be too happy.
