Isn’t there a tunnel under the street from a commercial bank to the Federal Reserve gold vaults to permit movement of gold from the fed vaults to the bank gold vaults?
somewhere I have an old frayed permit for powder actuated tool use
No. The bullion vault is accessible by elevator only. And the stories that there is a tunnel from the vault to the East River that allows the vault to be flooded in the event of a break-in are only stories. Though the vault staff won't do anything to discourage them.
