You can check it out in this video. Sponsored Now Legal to "Raid" the World's Biggest Bank? The U.S. Federal Reserve now sits atop $3.09 trillion in assets. It uses that money to control interest rates, Wall Street and our very economy. What you might not know is this... Every 30 days, a handful of lucky Americans are allowed to "raid" the Fed, legally. In February 2013, they walked away with more than $3 billion. Next month, the Fed will hand them even more cash! The catch: They're supposed to spend these billions to fuel the U.S. recovery.

Matthew Carr Senior Analyst The U.S. Mint Actually Ran Out of These Coins In an interview in January 2012, I took some flak from a number of people in the local gold industry. I said of gold, "Now it's like any other commodity and is subject to speculation... When you have more speculating taking place, what's really driving the price becomes murkier, and you get into the situation where there's a possibility for bubbles... It's no longer a safe haven..."
