Those 2 items being normally expressed in tons.
Yes, they are. The e-gold inventory is expressed in ounces. Conversion is as follows: 50,742.69 ounces divided by 12 to get pounds troy (12 ounces troy to the pound troy) = 4228.557 pounds troy.
Figure 2000 pounds to the ton and we have 2.114 tons. Figure e-gold has about half the total gold inventory of the top four and there are perhaps 4 tons on hand.
I wonder what figures you believe accurately express the "central bank holdings" for, e.g., the US Treasury or the Federal Reserve? I'm somewhat doubtful of their claims.
I think the last audit of US Treasury gold was perhaps 1954?
What number do you like for the total gold above ground?

Jim
