    Ft Knox itself does not. But the United States Bullion Depository is adjacent to Ft Knox, and it contains about 2.5% of all the gold ever refined throughout human history.

    No it is not empty but the question is what lenders have a lean on the gold in it.

    I don't know where they would put it otherwise.

    The US isn't on the gold standard anymore I don't think it matters.
