0,075g zlata na jedného obyvateľa USA v 2008

Hoci v roku 2008 predaj zlata v USA vzrástol oproti 2007 o viac ako 400% na 710tis. uncí, v priemere je to stále len asi 0,075g zlata na jedného obyvateľa krajiny.

In fact, demand for gold is so high that "Sales in the United States of the one-ounce gold American Eagle coin, minted from gold bullion, soared more than 400 percent in 2008 over previous sales to 710,000 ounces" which seems like a lot until you remember that the gold mines of the world produce about 80 million ounces of new gold per year, and so 710,000 ounces ain't really squat.

The results of my research are pretty dismal, which explains why there are over 300 million people in the USA and, although demand for gold is up 400 percent in the last year to 710,000 ounces, this is still only accumulating 0.00237 ounces each! A fifth of one percent of an ounce of gold per capita!
