For all the Mexican and South American drug dealers with WAREHOUSES full of cash—- imagine how many tons of treasury gold they could walk away with!!
Hmmm, why do I have a feeling that we don't have warehouses of gold left to meet the demand after all the pilfering by the political crime syndicates.
Wouldn't surprise me that a fair sized pawn shop had more gold than our treasury. The gold we do have in storage is more likely to be bullion stored for smaller nation's governments.
Separate domestic and foreign dollars while domestic are gold backed.
