Germany has withdrawn 674 metric Tons from america. Half of germans Gold is in germany 36% is still in the US, the rest in UK.

Germany has melted about 55 tons from New York to test its purity.

It’s still there … it’s not hard to paint iron bars a shiny gold colour

That’s why they melt it down. If it’s pure they can just re-cast them.

Probably a safe bet. Better get it before Trump raids the coffers and presses it into express lane passes for his eponymous golf and country club wing of the White House with his fucking face on them.

Ha. Y’all think it is actually there?

There is a reason trump kept talking about wanting to go to fort knox to make sure the gold was still there. ANYTHING a fascist says is projection.

What would actually happen if it wasn’t there anymore?

America as a nation would plummet in international relations, politics, trust, banking, markets and consequently in business, trade and economic value like nothing you have seen before. Everything from America would be dirt cheap globally because nobody would want it. Everything inside America would be catastrophically more expensive because the American dollar can no longer buy shit. Germany and everybody else would want their gold or corresponding amount of money but America would be so much in the red by now that even the one percent would experience the ramifications.

To sum it up, it would be the 2nd black (whatever day of the week), it would likely send the entire world finance system into a spiraling decline
