This could actually be the first salvo in an upcoming curreny war. This would directly challenge the supremacy of the US Dollar as the reserve currency of the world.
As Germany's Bundesbank announced Tuesday, it intends to bring 674 tons of gold worth $36 billion out of vaults in the Banque de France in Paris and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York back to Germany within the next eight years.
That involves moving more than 300 tons of gold out of New York alone, which is a tricky enough proposition without factoring the the millions of Americans who saw Jeremy Irons blow through a subway tunnel into the Federal Reserve Bank, load up stolen dump trucks with $140 billion in gold bars and escape through an aqueduct in 1995's "Die Hard: With A Vengeance."
Nothing to see here. Go watch Honey boo boo.
