Heist At The Mint?

The Royal Canadian Mint in Ottawa declared today that it cannot account for over $15-Million in gold bullion. From The Financial Post:

Christine Aquino, director of communications for the Mint, said it is looking into "all" possibilities at this time, including the chance that someone pulled off an Ocean's 11-esque heist from a facility that ranks as one of the most secure in the country. It has even asked the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to do its own investigation.

"We're not going to discount anything," she said.
