I am from the Netherlands and live in Spain. I will take look at both of these countries’ gold reserves.
- The Netherlands holds 612 tonnes of gold, currently worth $30,653,269,500 (30+ billion USD).
- Spain holds 282 tonnes of gold, currently worth $14,124,545,750 (14+ billion USD).
Surprise! Spain, a country so much larger and with a population 2.5 the size of the Netherlands, has less than half the gold that the Netherlands has in reserves. I wonder why.

Hungary has 94.5 tons of gold (as per reading assignment source).
At approximately 1700 $ per ounce, this would result in

My country: MEXICO
Current price of gold as in november 09, 2022: $1,713.13 per Oz.
Total gold holdings in central bank reserves: 120 T (1.47% of USA holdings).
120 T = 4,332,880 T = $7,251,474,000 USD
The total monetary supply of Mexico as in August 2022 was $127,090,770,015 USD (source: banxico.org.mx. Currency exgange $19.61 pesos per usd as in november 09, 2022). The value of the money supply in Mexico in USD is 17.35 times more than the value of the gold reserves of the central bank. Only 5.71% of the money supply is backed with gold reserves.
The total monetary supply (bills) of the United States by the 31st of december 2020 was $2,040,700,000,000 USD source: uscurrency.gov. This is 4.15 times more than the value of the gold reserves of the Federal Reserve. Only 24.08% of the money supply (bills) is backed with gold reserves.
Crazy data… isn’t it?
Other way to see this after watching the government money section is that more US dollars in circulation are competing for a relatively stable supply of gold, that’s why the price of gold has increased over time, from 30 USD in 1933 to more than 1,700 USD today’s price.
I am a bit confused on how to get the answer but here it goes
us current gold tonnes is 8133 / 286883133 ounces
x the ounce price of $1711.00 = 49085e11
Not sure if I did this correctly, if anyone can let me know if this is right or what I did wrong it will be greatly appreciated.
Germany = 3355 tonnes = 191.151.125.000 USD
The USA states it holds 8133 tonnes of gold.
8133 * 1774 = $14,427,942.
