They exchange pieces of paper saying who owns the gold inside each other's vaults. Gold is heavy and hard and risky to transport :) The U.S. owns a lot of gold held by the IMF, and likely much of the gold in Fort Knox is pledged to the IMF, but we safeguard it for them. | artstone Fix Reply to Delete |
