Fort Knox is so heavily guarded that it’s impossible to break into the gold depository. No one has even tried to steal the gold stored in the depository's impenetrable vault. The facility is surrounded by three fences and numerous security features. The grounds surrounding the fortress are protected by machine gun towers, land mines, motions detectors, and searchlights. Even making it to the front door without proper credentials is impossible. Fort Knox houses $291 billion worth of gold, and the facility has even housed priceless artifacts like the Magna Carta and Declaration of Independence. The secure facility is made of granite, concrete, and steel. No president has even been inside the Fort Knox vault since Franklin Delano Roosevelt. No single person knows the entire combination to the gold vault. The door weighs 22 tons and is impervious to machine gun fire, flamethrowers, and explosives. Each piece of the combination must be entered by a separate official. The fortress is surveilled at all times by the United States Mint Police, and all the guards who work at the fortress are highly-skilled and heavily armed. Every hallway inside Fort Knox is covered in motion detectors, video cameras, and hidden microphones. Sneaking around inside is absolutely out of the question. The gold that is deposited in the vault is transported in highly secure trucks and counted and authenticated before being put inside. It cost approximately $560,000 to build Fort Knox in 1936. That’s about $9.3 million when adjusted for inflation. Here’s a secret look inside of Fort Knox.
