      Hi bhavinamistry,
      I had no idea, so I had a quick look online, and it turns out the USA has the most, with about 8,000 tonnes of gold.

      Cool! I wonder which country has the most gold compared to its geographical size though?

      Hi bhavinamistry,

      I must confess I thought it was Canada, where a friend of mine is working looking at Gold for his PhD in the Yukon, but James V is right (having also looked it up online!)

      Gemma, I’d chuck Scotland in for your question, that would be my guess!
