RE: Global gold and the bank of England.

And 36 years earlier than that... in a gold depository in Ft Knox, USA...

James Bond: "Well, if you explode it in Fort Knox, the... the entire gold supply of the United States would be radioactive for... fifty-seven years."
Auric Goldfinger: "Fifty-eight, to be exact."
James Bond: "I apologize, Goldfinger. It's an inspired deal! They get what they want, economic chaos in the West. And the value of your gold increases many times."
Auric Goldfinger: "I conservatively estimate, ten times."
James Bond: "Deviously brilliant."
