Central banks around the globe are making a historic shift—they now hold more gold than U.S. Treasuries in their reserves for the first time in decades. On this episode of America’s Gold Authority® Podcast, host Mike Barnes welcomes former U.S. Mint Director Philip N. Diehl and financial education expert Brad Chastain to discuss what’s driving this global rush to gold. The panel explores how geopolitical tension, inflation pressures, and an evolving international monetary system are redefining gold’s role in global finance. They also examine what these moves could mean for personal savings and long-term financial stability.
