Several months ago there were reports of missing $20 million in Gold at the RCM. Tonight's National News reports that there really was no missing gold. It was just poor accounting and inventory control. Cost to taxpayers to figure this out is a reported $1.4 million (accountants, police, etc).

I'll try to record that tonight, I was following the story off and on. The discrepancy sounds like a lot but I remember reading it was only 0.3% of the year's throughput. Did anyone else see that episode of Rick Mercer where he toured the mint around that time?

Wow, 1.4 million is a lot also!

But those police would have been on duty anyway, right? or was it overtime?

Either way, crazy.

The good news is we found it all - not to worry. The bad news is, it's plated tungsten.....

The difference between an optimist and a pessimist is that the pessimist is better informed.
