Flood of Gold Again Sets Records for World Supply
The National Geographic Society bulletin reports a renewed flood of gold into the United States, reaching its highest level in history. Gold’s global movement reflects a universal standard of value with about 30 countries contributing in early 1921 and a worldwide stock valued in the tens of billions of dollars. The United States holds roughly a third of total gold in circulation and treasuries, led by production estimates showing the U S ahead of other nations. Russia and Siberia, Africa, and Australia also show large outputs, while much gold moves through the world’s exchange network.
