I can't recall what the amount was exactly but I remember when I read what the total amount of gold mined in the world was supposed to be in cubic meters I was stunned. I'd seen at least that much in my travels in the back streets of Asia let alone what resides in the vaults of European banks. Row after row of shops selling nothing but gold or star sapphires or Siam silver Other girld friends talked about what was available in Saudi Arabia where they worked and they were hapy to send me some it was cheap (comparatively) and plentiful and high quality/carat. It's just got to be a good deal more than what was stated.

I'm tired and sleepy so my historical recall is patchy tonight but what was the effect of Nixon dumping the gold standard in the 70s? Seems like the beginning of QE 1 and we're still dealing with the inevitable outcome of that now.
