How were Germanys gold reserves created, and what role has gold played as a means of payment over the centuries? What meaning have gold reserves had in the past, and what is their significance in the present? This book provides a vivid illustration of the Bundesbanks gold reserves, presenting them in such an informative way that readers will almost feel as if they can reach out and touch them. The Deutsche Bundesbanks project to bring substantial gold holdings to Frankfurt am Main from storage locations in New York and Paris has generated a great deal of public interest in recent years. Germanys gold reserves are administered by the Bundesbank, and this book is the first of its kind to provide a detailed account of how the gold in the Banks vaults came into being and how it has been used and stored over time. Interesting insights into the mining and processing of gold as a raw material as well as authoritative information about its qualities are impressively complemented, visually, by lavish photographs of selected gold ingots from the Bundesbanks reserves.
