Gold trading at near-record highs above $900 an ounce begs the question: Who's got the most?
If you guessed the U.S. government, you're right, sort of. Most people automatically think of the bullion vault at Fort Knox, Ky. The military installation does indeed hold a good stash of the U.S. reserves, about 147 million ounces (out of 261 million total as of December.) Other reserves are socked away in the Philadelphia and Denver mints, the bullion depository at West Point, N.Y., and other places.
But the Federal Reserve Bank of New York holds the prize as the world's biggest known stockpile of gold, some 550,000 glistening bars of the stuff buried deep into the bedrock of lower Manhattan. That's $203.3 billion worth of gold in a single place. Just 2% to 5% of it is owned by the U.S. government, though. The rest is owned by foreign countries.
Gold mines in the western US are not considered renewable resources because they are formed over geologic timescales through deposits of gold-bearing minerals. Once these deposits are depleted through mining activities, it is not feasible for them to be regenerated within a human timeframe.
Gold and silver mines can be found in various states in the US, including Nevada, Colorado, Alaska, and California. Nevada is particularly known for producing a significant amount of both gold and silver due to its rich mineral deposits.
Most of Earth's freshwater is stored in glaciers, ice caps, and underground aquifers, making it inaccessible for human use. The small percentage of freshwater that is available to us is found in lakes, rivers, and reservoirs on the surface, but it must be properly managed and conserved to ensure its sustainability for our needs.
It's not really needed for anything besides jewelry, although astronauts did have a very thin layer of gold on their helmet faceplates. Gold is a non-reactive metal that is the by-product of ancient stellar death cycles. All gold that exists in the earth's crust fell to earth from space. Deep within the earth is likely a lot more gold, since it is so dense.

Most of the U.S. gold reserves are stored at Fort Knox in Kentucky, which houses a significant portion of the nation's gold bullion. Additionally, gold reserves are also held at the Denver Mint and the West Point Mint in New York. Fort Knox is particularly notable for its high security and historical significance as a repository of the country's gold assets.
