US Gold reserves: 8133 tonnes = $1.3T (if gold is @ $5000)
...so not sure that would be such a wise move for the US. I get the feeling China and Japan would take that deal in a heartbeat.

And if gold was revalued to US 70,000 per oz, the US could completely pay off its 20 trillion external gov't debt!!
