00:00GERMANY HAS THE SECOND LARGEST GOLD RESERVES IN THE WORLD AFTER THE U.S.

00:043,351 TONS TO BE EXACT.

00:08THAT'S THE WEIGHT OF 25 BOEING 747s.

00:12AND ONE THIRD OF THAT GOLD IS IN THE U.S.

00:15IT'S WORTH NEARLY 100 BILLION EUROES.

00:18BUT HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?

00:20AFTER WWII, GERMANY'S ECONOMY BOOMED THROUGH EXPORTS, ESPECIALLY TO THE U.S.

00:26GERMANY WAS SENDING OVER LOTS OF CARS, MACHINERY, AND OTHER GOODS, CREATING TRADE SURPLUSES.

00:32INSTEAD OF PHYSICALLY MOVING GOLD ACROSS THE ATLANTIC FOR EVERY TRANSACTION, THE U.S. HELD IT IN NEW YORK ON GERMANY'S BEHALF.

00:40BUT IS IT STILL SAFE THERE NOW?

00:43THAT'S THE 100 BILLION EUROES QUESTION, ESPECIALLY WITH RISING POLITICAL TENSIONS AND UNPREDICTABLE LEADERSHIP.

00:50IN FACT, TRUMP'S UNPREDICTABILITY HAS LED THE EUROPEAN TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION TO CALL FOR THE GOLD TO BE RETURNED TO GERMANY'S VAULTS.

01:00IS THAT POSSIBLE?

01:01YES, BETWEEN 2013 AND 2016, GERMANY MOVED 300 TONS OF GOLD FROM NEW YORK TO FRANKFURT.

01:09AFTER ALL, GOLD ISN'T JUST A SHINY METAL, IT IS LEVERAGE.

01:13AND FOR NOW, BILLIONS OF EUROES WORTH OF GERMAN GOLD REMAINS OVERSEAS.
