To sidestep the flame war brewing here, the best chance for a private individual to be able to examine the gold holdings would be to becoem a journalist for, say, wyred magazine, and start making enquiries. You should at least be able to get an interview with the management of the facilities, and if you can sweet-talk them you might be able to get a look at the gold bars. I doubt they'd allow pictures however.
It's still an outside chance of course, and other than starting a tunnel you just have to take it on trust that the gold is there and that it is really gold. Which is exactly the way all currencies operate, ultimately, by the trust of the users. --- Send the right message --- + Today freemail + Get your free, private email address at http://www.today.com.au --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use e-gold's Secure Randomized Keyboard (SRK) when accessing your e-gold account(s) via the web and shopping cart interfaces to help thwart keystroke loggers and common viruses.
