Rich, "10 cubic tons" of gold is about equal to 10 cubic yards, so that would be a stack of gold that is 30 ft. long. 3ft. wide and 3ft. high.

That's a hell of a lot of gold....every month? Not sure the US Gov't has that much..

Total amount of gold ever mined is said to be approx. 170,000 metric tons, and China has been buying the sh1t out of it for years.

On the list of gold producing countries, China is #1 and the US is down about #4. Gold mining in the US has been under assault from environmental groups for decades, and if the production in the US continues to fall, where will companies needing gold for electronics, jewelry, NASA projects, etc. go to get it?

My guess is China.
