I wish they would release copies of the IOUs that are owed to SS.

They even spent all/most of Germany's gold and weren't able to return it when Germany asked for it back.  

What was ever the resolution to that?

.  

I think we gave them some after two years and the rest two or four years later.   Somehow the purity of the exact same bars dropped while in storage.  Is 99.9999% pure decayed to 99.9788% or something like that.  The Germans noted the discrepancy  but took it anyhow and ran.  

I guess we couldn't find pure enough gold to remake the German bars we never touched that we were safekeeping from the Russians.

because there is nothing to count.. No one has been down there in nearly 50 years, and not one single picture was taken? Yeah, Yeah  muh security they could crop out anything remotely telling hell last time they were down in the 1970s the opening was on VIDEO and all over the news. This happened quietly while the entire country was distracted with a once in a lifetime event.

My guess is that most of the gold in any US vaults are tungsten bars with a gold plating thick enough for an impression test to pass. Same density, same x-ray, same hardness. Impossible to tell without literally sawing it in half.
The molecular weight of gold is 196.96655

The molecular weight of Tungsten is 183.84

So no, gold is about 7% heavier.
The difference in density between gold and tungsten is quite small.  Tungsten is 19.25 g/cm3, while gold is 19.3 g/cm3.  The difference is about .25%, so it is not something you'd be able to eyeball/feel.  You'd need to do an immersion to accurately measure the actual volume as well as the weight, but it can be done.  The only materials denser than gold are Iridium, Osmium, Platinum, Plutonium, and Rhenium, so you'd need to be able to blend one of those in with the Tungsten to exactly match the density.

They discovered that Trump has more gold in his Apartment at trump tower than the USA has in Fort Knox.
