In the news, a Canwest News report notes that the Royal Canadian Mint has been caught with its gold, silver and other precious metals AWOL…
“A significant quantity of gold, silver and other precious metals is unaccounted for at the Royal Canadian Mint.
External auditors are investigating a discrepancy between the mint’s 2008 financial accounting of its precious metals holdings and the physical stockpile at the plant on Sussex Drive in Ottawa.
The mystery raises possibilities from sloppy bookkeeping to a gold heist.
Officials with the commercial Crown corporation are saying little and refuse to confirm the amount and value of the unaccounted for gold, silver and palladium.”
So what? It’s not like you can go to the bank and ask them to give you gold for your funny money is it? So who cares?
