In spite of the fact that pyrite can be a disillusioning find, it isn't unexpected found close to genuine gold sources, so a gold searcher who quits burrowing when he observes a piece of pyrite might be a genuine blockhead.
6-The US Treasury right now possesses 147.3 million ounces (an ounce rises to around 28 grams) of gold bullion
Almost 50% of this sum, which is esteemed at more than $130 billion, is put away in the American Depository Bullion Treasury Building known as Fort Knox.
