You'd have to include the Treasury Debt in your count of total outstanding USD. While some might say one would only have to include actual Federal Reserve Notes (FRN). But since our Treasuries are convertible into FRN I think the best calculation is to take all FRN and USTreasuries, and call that the total outstanding USD.

Anyway, I've already done the calculation. Taking all outstanding USD and comparing it to stated holdings of Gold, owned by the US.

To balance, Gold would have to trade at a level just shy of 40,000 USD per ounce.

Fun, fun, fun, eh?
