How many Mini Coopers is that?

Didn't experts in Germany call for this too?

And that's only part of it. They have 612.4 tonnes (a bit under 33 cubic metres) and a third of that is sat in London.

Did they think the US was going to steal Canadas gold too?

Freeze and difficulty shifting assets.

Given that the Orange Turd has threatened Canada multiple times why take the risk?

They left 37% of their gold in US/Canada, so they're still taking the risk albeit at a lower level than before

Bravo sir.

A little research tells me that 86 tonnes is only 4.45 cubic meters.

I’m downgrading my to more a gentle “gadzooks”.

Payload for an OG Mini 1275 is about 375kg.
Assuming an average weight driver of 75kg (about 11.5 stone), that leaves 300kg of gold per Mini.
Therefore you would need to load up 287 Minis with bullion to move it all.

Obviously the next question is how many ferries will be needed to get them all across the Atlantic.

Bravo sir, bravo lol

They probably want to move it all but don't want to provoke too big a reaction.
