Thanks again for the educational class, @maneco64. My research says there is between 6 and 10 Billion Troy ounces, of Gold, above ground. And with the World Population at almost 8 Billion, well the math is really simple arithmetic. About an ounce apiece. Because Silver is consumed or cannot be recovered, some say it is just about as rare. So as the wise person said, "Hold some Gold and pray you never need it."
