Solar Turbocharged January 19, 2013 Share January 19, 2013 Germany parked their gold in USA during the Cold War era way before the Americans removed the policy of backing the greenback with gold lah. To add on, it was to avoid the situation where Germany got attacked by the then USSR and they could not protect their gold. 'Big Brother' can take care of them. Btw, does anyone know if SG's gold is kept with Big Brother also? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
