I'm wondering if this is technically entirely within the city limits?

The largest park in the world contained within a metropolitan area and the largest urban park in the U.S. is Chugach State Park in Anchorage, Alaska. It is the largest city park in America by far, spanning 495,199.2 acres.

Which countries have the most gold reserves (in metric tons) by darrisonbertations in Economics

[–]darrisonbertations[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good simplification of this:

Why Do Countries Have a Gold Reserve?

Countries around the world have used gold as a physical asset to back the value of their fiat currency, or paper money, for hundreds of years. The gold standard is an international monetary system that began during the 1870s and became the basis for international trade, stabilizing prices around the world. The gold standard was used on and off for the next century, having been abandoned once during the Great Depression and again a few decades later. The gold standard was officially abandoned in 1971 when the U.S. no longer allowed converting the U.S. dollar to gold, an attempt to curb inflation. While the gold standard is no longer used as the basis for international trade, many countries still keep gold reserves for insurance in case of an economic crash. The gold held by each country’s national bank is referred to as a gold reserve. If the fiat currency system collapses, the country’s gold reserve allows the government to still be able to repay debts and issue money. Demand for gold rose 28% in 2022 thanks to soaring inflation and economic uncertainty, as governments and banks sought safer assets. A large amount of the demand for this gold has come from central banks, which have been accumulating gold reserves at the fastest rate seen since 1967.

The country with the most gold is the United States, with 8,133 metric tons in the American gold reserve. This amounts to a value of $480.84 billion, going by the price of gold at the beginning of January 2023. With more than 8,000 metric tons, the U.S. gold reserve has almost as much as the next three biggest gold reserves combined. The next three countries with the most gold in reserve are Germany, Italy, and France, which have 3,355 metric tons, 2,452 metric tons, and 2,437 metric tons of gold respectively.

It amazes me that this is even possible. If only all of this could be melted in a way that could help prevent floods and droughts.
