FORT KNOX, Ky. — The gold at Fort Knox has received national attention recently after President Donald Trump's remarks.
But what's inside the Bullion Depository at Fort Knox? 비바카지노 Viva's Caray Grace takes a deeper look inside and talks to a man who helped count the gold many years ago.
When President Trump mentioned that he and Elon musk would like to go inside Fort Knox and see the gold for themselves, Trump then raised the question about whether or not the nation's 147 million ounces of gold are still there.
"There are things i have access to but i have never told anyone about over the years," said Lucas Stone.
The mystique around the U.S. depository at Fort Knox is warranted given that one of America's most valuable assets sits guarded there.
According to the U.S. Mint, there are 5,000 tons of gold at Fort Knox and when Stone helped audit it in the 19802, it was quite the site to see.
"The responsibility given to an 18, 19, 20 year old to handle what the country owns is very impressive," Stone said.
Stone says his father was a guard at the depository for the years. That's how he ended up getting the job.
"He called me at some point during the spring semester, and he called and asked if I wanted some work for the summer. I asked him what and he said don't ask questions," Stone said.
He didn't ask questions; he just showed up, got his assignment and began stacking gold.
"We would go down. We would go down into the vault. We would work our half hour. We would come out and the next guys would go in. There were guards watching us all the time," Stone said.
Stone still has the certificate he got for helping with the audit, but over the years skepticism has grown amongst people with fewer audits done and less access to the depository.
In 2017, Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell and then Gov. Matt Bevin toured the facility with a group of politicians. According to the Associated Press, this was the first time since 1974 elected leaders visited the vault.
When asked about the visit, McConnell said he couldn't say much about it for security reasons.
We haven't seen much since President Trump mentioned wanting to see if the gold is still there, but we do know it was there in 2017.
