Some extremely interesting statistics there - I couldnt find NZ in the list of Central Banks who hold Gold - it might appear that little old NZ holds no gold at all - an idiotic and stupid mistake and indeed a criminal one - Our government on behalf of the people would be putting into reserve ALL gold mined in NZ rather than let the US bankers take it which is what is largely happening.
Thanks Gavin for putting those statistics on.

I Also noted that every person in the world could have enough gold for five wedding rings - interesting as I might be depriving a couple of people of wedding rings!

The NZG were probably walking through the mall one day and fell for the Goldbuyers marketing and sold our stash to them at a heavy discount.

Hmmmm, they seem to assume no gold has been lost from all the gold that has been mined? But yea makes some good reading. I got 12 grams with my brothers help today,
thats my contribution to the cube which will never feature in any statistics.
And now....On sandy beaches and muddy soil, rings and coins await my coil!
