Is there Gold there?

The U.S. Department of the Treasury, specifically the Office of the Inspector General, oversees these audits to verify the existence and security of the gold stored there. However, full, comprehensive audits are rare. The last official full audit of Fort Knox’s gold was in 1953, shortly after President Eisenhower took office. The most significant audit effort in modern times occurred in the 1970s, where officials and journalists were allowed to inspect a portion of the gold. However, the Treasury and Mint assure that the gold is secure, and routine internal audits help confirm its presence. If you're hoping to visit Fort Knox, you won’t be able to tour the gold vault itself—it’s one of the most secure places in the world.
