Members of Congress and the media went into the vaults on September 23, 1974 in a tour led by the Director of the United States Mint at the time Mary Brooks (pictured) after a conspiracy was spreading that Fort Knox gold reserves were empty
According to the Daily Mail “The Bullion Depository holds roughly 147 million troy ounces of bulk gold, which represents over half the gold held by the U.S. federal government or 56.35 percent of the total.”

Now Senator Paul of Kentucky, and others online, are calling for Elon Musk / DOGE to do an audit of the gold.
Do you think a Fort Knox audit will/should happen? How much gold do you think is actually in Fort Knox? (More or less than they say?) What happens to the price of gold if there’s less (or more) gold in Fort Knox? If there’s less gold than there should be where do it go? Will such an audit have any significant effect on the overall economy? Will an audit make you want to invest in gold?
