Hmm - more gold in NY than at Fort Knox?
Underneath the Federal Reserve, there is more gold than at any other place in the world. Had no idea about that.

Another thing I found intereting - the Federal Reserve has a room that $2.1 Trillion moves through daily! Whoaa!

I can never think of Fort Knox without remembering the hero it was named for. He did the impossible, transporting fifty cannon on sleds from Fort Ticonderoga to Boston, a three-hundred-mile journey that took fifty-six days. Knox was made General of Artillery, and when Washington was President Knox was the first Secretary of War (today's Secretary of Defense).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Knox http://www.ushistory.org/valleyforge/served/knox.html And that journey was accomplished by a guy who weight three hundred pounds! http://www.earlyamerica.com/portraits/knox.html
