September 15, 2011 – Gold is one of the most valuable precious metals on earth, thus it’s no surprise that people will literally kill or die for it. Over the past few decades, global superpowers have constructed the most secure, impenetrable gold vaults in the world in order to protect their precious gold reserves. Below I have listed and briefly explained these immense, man-made nuclear-proof vaults:

1. The United States Bullion Depository (aka Fort Knox) The world’s most famous gold vault, Fort Knox is an American legend that holds a massive amount of America’s gold bullion. A solid granite wall perimeter, squadrons of expert marksmen and a 22-ton vault door makes Fort Knox a gold vault so secure that not a single robbery has ever been attempted. God bless America!

2. The New York Federal Reserve Vault The New York Federal Reserve Vault is located deep underground below the streets of downtown Manhattan and it is the world’s largest and most secure gold vault. No human can enter the vault because gold is moved by a team of robots. The vault is so secure that many foreign governments use it to protect their own gold reserves as well. Don’t even think about breaking in here.

3. The Bank Of England Gold Vault The Bank Of England Gold Vault is the world’s second largest gold vault, holding more than 4,600 tons of gold bullion in its completely bombproof infrastructure. The vault can only be accessed through an intricate security system that includes voice recognition, 3 foot keys and several other confidential security measures.

4. Teikoku Bank in Hiroshima, Japan Towards the end of World War II, the United States dropped a massive atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, leaving the city in absolute shambles. In the middle of this Japanese wasteland, the gold vaults in the Teikoku Bank stood strong in excellent condition. Talk about an impenetrable vault!

5. The Gold Vault In Dubai Dubai is known as the City of Gold, and over the past decade they have constructed one of the most secure gold vaults in the world incorporating the latest and greatest of security measures. Located in the Dubai Multi Commodities Center, this gold vault is one of the most secure high- tech vaults in the world.
