    To be fair, I’d say that any country that is storing significant value in another country is probably making a mistake.

    The gold Germany repatriated years ago was not the gold they stored. I would safely assume Germany’s gold is not there any longer, and all Germany can get is replacement gold of the same amount and quality (hopefully).

    If I were a German central banker, I’d demand it back right now. it’s safer in Frankfurt than in New York for sure.

    It used to be safe in usa but no more. If you analyze the wall sconce by the end table on the left hand side you’ll see that the German gold is currently being stored on the whitehouse walls.

    The post doesn’t explain why didn’t they request their gold already. There has to be some benefit in storing it in the US

    How many times do we have to hear about this? I am quite sure the premise of, “Die Hard III:With a Vengeance” was about this 30 damn years ago.
