Strange to note that the three countries that hold the most gold as a percentage of their reserves are: Portugal, Greece and the USA. I've seen these mentioned elsewhere for some reason. Can't quite remember where now...

Not only that but Greece and particularly Portual have actually been increasing their gold stocks. It seems daft that they get bailout money while sitting on a gold mine but technically the politicians can't get their hands on the stuff as their central banks are indepedent. In fact that was a requirement of Euro membership.

Personally I can see the German taxpayers demanding rule changes before much longer to make them use it to at least pay off part of their debt.
