           As  gold  prices  drop, the  West  is  selling its                  of Irish State
           stores, and the East is buying it up. More than
           527 tons of gold have been removed from the
           Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the Bank of England. At the same
           time, China hit a four-year high for gold imports. If the West does not want
           its gold, China is more than willing to take it. For China, buying gold means
           selling yuan, and selling great quantities of anything makes it cheaper. Making
           the yuan cheaper makes it cheaper for foreigners to buy “made in China”
           goods. This is a game China has played since the 1990s. As the value of their
           currencies shifts, China can ensure that the yuan will always be lower. This
           makes it difficult for any other country to manufacture products cheaper than   A  new  commemorative  gold
