In this warehouse, about 310 tons of gold are deposited by other organizations and countries. Each gold bar is printed with a serial number and year of manufacture. The oldest gold bar here is dated 1916.Admire the UK's gold vault photo 4

Even when sold, the gold in this vault is not taken out, but simply converted to the owner’s name.Admire the UK's gold vault photo 5

If you consider all this gold as a brick, using them can build a wall 20m high, or a square wall measuring 18mx18m.
