The U.S. owns the world’s most gold. Here’s who comes in second

If you’re looking for a central bank full of gold bugs, start in the U.S. and Germany.
The U.S. owns the most gold of any country, according to an analysis of data from the International Monetary Fund, published on HowMuch.net.
The U.S.’s reserve of gold equals 8,133 tonnes, worth more than $373 trillion.
Germany comes in second, with 3,369 tonnes, worth more than $154 trillion.
The IMF itself (although it is not a country, it placed itself in the ranking) holds the third-most: 2,814 tonnes, worth more than $129 trillion.

So to put it in perspective $18 trillion in national debt pales in comparison to the amount of Gold held by the U.S. $373 Trillion. It's hard to say we're bankrupt.
