The vault was only opened to unauthorized persons three times. Most recently in 2017 on behalf of US President Donald Trump. It is an endless source of conspiracy theories: Does the US have as much gold as it claims? Or are there just dummies instead of bars in the vaults? 45 years ago the rumor mill was so boiling that the head of the US Mint, Mary Brooks, fled to the front. On September 23, 1974, she opened the Fort Knox, Kentucky vault to selected journalists and MPs.

It was the second time since it opened in 1936 that unauthorized persons had access. Before that, only US President Franklin D. Roosevelt had this privilege.

The next visitor didn’t come back until August 21, 2017: US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin was convinced of the security in order to keep an election promise made by US President Donald Trump. “Glad that our gold is safe,” he said on Twitter.
