I swallowed twice when reading this. How does this make sense : having a national gold treasure of one'S own national bank - and then storing it not in one's own country with one'S own national bank, but in three other other, foreign ones...?

And not inspecting this because the trips of the inspectors would cost flight tickets?

I also did not know that it is so terribly few gold. I thought a bigger share of the German currency - at least before the Euro came - was covered in gold assets.
