1974- From Numismatic News:
Recognizing Rep. Philip M Crane, R-Ill., I asked him why he had suggested a tour of Knox.
"I suggested it because of rampant rumors that significant portions of our gold reserves were gone," he replied.
"I suggested it to William Simon [Secretary of the Treasury] because, if coupled with an audit, would serve to help gain confidence in the monetary system.
"I'll be satisfied with the audit," he said, noting that there was a previous one in 1953, just after President Eisenhower took office.
Crane noted he had held one of the 400-ounce brick (approximately 27 pounds) and noted its worth of $65,000 on the free market.

Is there any gold in fort knox and if there is does anyone know how much and who it belongs to?
Short answer: The treasury estimates 147.6 million ounces of gold are held at Fort Knox. The US government owns it. Both of those answers are controversial. Long answer:In 1933, the US government, on order of President Roosevelt, undertook to confiscate most of the gold owned by US citizens and exchange it for paper dollars within two weeks. Safety deposit boxes and vaults were sealed. Subsequently, US citizens were not allowed to own most forms of gold. The paper dollars were soon worth far less than the gold they were traded for. If that action is considered legal, the US government now owns the gold in Fort Knox. The vault was used to hold the treasure beginning in 1937. Before World War II, there were 649.6 million ounces of gold in Fort Knox. The treasury now estimates that only 147.6 million ounces remain. However, the gold has not been inventoried since the 1950's. Some believe there is far less gold in Fort Knox. In 1971, the US abandoned the last remnants of the gold standard. US dollars are now fiat currency, not backed by gold or any other commodity.

How do you connect to a cell number when calling fort knox Kentucky using a cell to cell call?
You dial it the same way you would any other cell phone call. Bearing in mind that people stationed at Fort Knox come from all over the country, the area codes to the specific cell phone may vary according to where the service contract for their cell service was drawn up - i.e., someone may be stationed in Kentucky, but the area code for their cell phone may be from their home state or last duty station if they opted to keep the same number. The area code for Fort Knox itself is 502.
