Two months ago we went inside the Fed's "doomsday" bunker:
a 135,000 square foot facility built in 1969, and nestled inside Mount
Pony, east of Culpeper, Virginia that housed some $4 billion in hard
currency as well as the central hub of FedWire, the computer network
which allows the nation’s banks to communicate and transfer funds.
It was meant to ensure that the US banking system could still
function in the event there were still any banks left in the
post-apocalyptic world, Culpeper Switch (officially the Federal Reserve
System’s Communications and Records Center) was equipped with everything
a Fed official would need to survive in the wake of a nuclear
holocaust.
And yet, it was in a word, "spartan" even by 1970s standards. After
all who wants to greet the post-nuclear holocaust world surrounded by
sterile plastic, a Fed spreadsheet (which caused the nuclear holocaust
in the first place) and all the cash in the world, especially since the
only currency accepted is silver, gold and of course, lead (not to
mention a bunker-full of voodoo economists).
