Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

GATA supporter Money Metals Exchange has posted at YouTube a video about its massive new monetary metals depository in Eagle, Idaho, said to be the largest such vault in the United States west of New York, a vault even larger than the U.S. gold repository at Fort Knox, Kentucky.

Customers may be confident that their metal vaulted with Money Metals Exchange is infinitely less likely to be rehypothecated than any metal vaulted at Fort Knox, if indeed there's still any metal there at all.

But as the United States' use of sanctions has proliferated in recent years, concerns have grown in China and elsewhere over whether the U.S. dollar can remain a safe-haven currency.
