“There’s only one way into the cellar. It was a 90-ton steel door that rotated in a cylindrical motion to open the entrance. Any compromising attempts to open the secret vault are safeguarded, as there are at least 3 EMPLOYEES OF THE FED (the US Federal Reserve) to ensure the gold is safe.

Gold bars are transported by elevator from the building to The basement location of The warehouse. Inside there are 122 gold compartments, each of which belongs to an account. Before stacking, each gold bar is weighed and tested for fineness (purity) for record-keeping. This step is important because the Fed will return the exact gold bars that they accept holders previously deposited when they want to withdraw.

Next, the Fed’s STAFF will use THE OLD-FASHIONED SCALES to determine the gold price. Each INGOT will be stored in INDIVIDUALLY NUMBERED LOCKERS and protected by THREE LOCKS. These lockers are all numbered rather than named to maintain ACCOUNT HOLDER CONFIDENTIALITY. Although the deposits are free to store gold here, there is a fee for Fed STAFF to move each gold bar.”

“Visitors are allowed to tour, but it’s strictly forbidden to take photos.

Curiously, this gold warehouse is open to tourists, but visitors can only admire the gold on display. In New York City, visitors can sign up for a Tour package with an accompanying tour guide.

When entering the building, visitors must go through a very strict security check, leaving personal items outside, and not allowed to take pictures inside.

Visitors are subjected to strict security checks before entering.

The security staff here are all armed. Up to now, no gold robbery has happened successfully.”
