Reply to comment by krectus in TIL that all the gold that has ever been mined in all of human history could fill about three Olympic-sized swimming pools. by westondeboer

For starters that amount of gold is relatively smaller to the current value of the world economy and a lot of people wants to reconstitute the Gold Standard.

Not to mention a portion of the total gold "mined" could be missing since people do tend to bury their treasure way back then.

So in actuality, there is less gold peesent.
