The last of the Government's gold bullion was sold in December 2003. Proceeds from gold sales over the last 20 years have been invested in interest-bearing assets, raising the return for the EFA by US$13 billion more than would have been the case had the Government maintained its gold holdings. Of note, the Government continues to hold gold coins.
