Muchos turistas pasean por el distrito financiero de Nueva York e imaginan la cantidad de dinero que se mueve en la Bolsa de Broad Street, lo que valen los alquileres de los últimos pisos del American International Building o lo que gastan a diario esos magnates al desplazarse en helicóptero de Wall Street a sus hogares.

Pero si quieres saber donde está el dinero, entra en el Banco de la Reserva Federal de Nueva York. En los sótanos de este edificio, a más de 20 metros de profundidad, se encuentran guardados miles y miles de lingotes de oro que tienen un valor aproximado de unos 150.000 millones de dólares, que viene a ser un tercio de las reservas de oro mundiales.

Como puedes ver, es una verdadera fortaleza en forma triangular, que dice haberse inspirado en los antiguos palacios toscanos del Renacimiento. El Banco de la Reserva Federal de Nueva York fue creado por el presidente Woodrow Wilson en 1913 para centralizar el sistema bancario del país y es que justamente aquí es donde se fijan los tipos de interés que luego siguen el resto de bancos.

Visitar su interior es posible. Podrás conocer muchos más detalles de su funcionamiento económico, admirar grandes cajas de seguridad y, en ocasiones, asistir a la destrucción de billetes antiguos. Infórmate con tiempo ya que se requiere cita previa.
