Story from today's news got me thinking:
Germany's central bank is to bring back almost 700 tonnes of gold reserves it keeps in New York and Paris
By 2020, half of its gold bars will be in its vaults, the Bundesbank said. It currently keeps less than a third at home.
The bars were originally taken out of Germany as a precaution against an invasion from the Soviet Union.Central banks keep gold abroad so that it can be used to quickly buy foreign currency in times of crisis.
According to the BBC's Berlin correspondent, Stephen Evans, the German audit office has criticised the government for not keeping a proper track of the bars,
It has even suggested some of the bars may not have been checked to see if they are real, he added.
Folk go on and on about German efficiency but the krauts have taken 20 years to work out that the Soviet Union has gone pop and
Just how funny would it be if say half of that gold turned out to be painted iron or something and then some Bond type villan pops up on the internet stroking his cat and cackling away to himself
