    Does the United States have the largest supply of gold in the world?

    Question #113208. Asked by george48. (Mar 04 10 4:54 PM)


    queproblema

    According to my calculations based on the table on this page, the US holds about 27% of the approximately 30,000 tons of the gold held in central bank vaults, more than any other nation. The US holds 8139 tons, followed by Germany, with 3469. These 30,000 tons are about a quarter of the above-ground inventory. I haven't checked private ownership.

    "South Africa has 50% of the world's known stock of un-mined gold."

    Each of the quiz questions is answered by naming two states and putting 'and' between them: for example, California and Oregon. I was amazed at how rusty my state geography was. How's yours?
