No deposits of gold (like other deposits) were a liability for the bank and created a local shortage of notes. Instead bought the gold wholesale and sold it to London. The profits became the bank’s capital. As I understand it this particular bank was well positioned for this and others missed out.

Today I learned this: In 1936, almost 30% of the capital held by the bank of New South Wales was profit from the sale of gold during the 1850s gold rush.

Most visited Australian websites per Semrush. Notice anything interesting? My takeaways: - didn't realise just how popular OzBargain is at #7#19 - Surprised to see Bing significantly lower than DuckDuckGo
