Only 5 Countries Have Ever Tried This — And America Would Be The Biggest By Far
The U.S. Treasury values its 261.5 million ounces of gold at $42.22 an ounce — a price frozen in law since 1973. At today's market price, that same gold is worth over a trillion dollars more than the official books admit. For 30 years, only five countries have ever used a "reserve revaluation" to unlock that kind of gap: Italy, Germany, Lebanon, Curaçao and Sint Maarten, and South Africa. This episode walks through what happened to each of them — including the Bundesbank fight that nearly cost a German finance minister his job for money the country never ended up needing, and the Lebanese central bank governor once nicknamed "the magician," whose own 2002 revaluation triggered the start of a story that ended with his arrest. Then we look at why this same idea is now sitting in a Federal Reserve research note, a sitting Treasury Secretary's denials, and two competing bills in the U.S. Senate.
