why the bloody hell would you store your countries gold in another country?
fuckwits are asking to turn up to an empty vault.
build your own vault and check on it whenever you want

Gold, what gold?
Got a receipt?
Sorry this isn't valid.
It's signed by someone called Gorge Washington and he don't work here no more.

For anyone who has Netflix, there's a good documentary on there which helps to explain all this. It's call 'End of the Road: How Money Became Worthless'. I watched it last night & it's pretty good at explaining economics/global currency systems for people like me who don't understand it too well.
