Interesting fact of the day: Canada's gold reserves are less (and in some cases substantially less, by several orders of magnitude) than countries such as: Mexico, Bangladesh, Laos, Colombia, Guatemala, Latvia, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Bulgaria, Egypt, ...and the list goes on.

Singapore is a country about the same size as the city of Delta (BC), with a population of about 5 million people, and yet they have 127.4 tonnes of gold reserves. Canada has 3.4 tonnes.

The US has 8,133.5 tonnes.
