After having occupied for years several floors in an office building in downtown Duckburg, Scrooge McDuck has now settled on Killmotor Hill, where Fort Duckburg used to stand. Here he has built a colossal structure containing private quarters, numerous offices, and a vast space for storing 3 cubic acres of his cash money.
As we all know, most of McDuck's cash money is stored in banks all over Calisota, and according to the trillionaire the amount of cash in the new building is merely piggy bank money to him.
It is rumored that the trillionaire knows all his coins and bills by heart, but this reporter doubts this rumor very much. No one is able to remember the numbers of so many bills!
It is also rumored that McDuck has stored his money for one important main purpose namely to bathe in them. This, of course, cannot be true as it is impossible. Still, rumors linger on...

The Duck family admiring the new structure

At the official opening yesterday McDuck invited this reporter, as well as the Duck family, on a tour to have a look at the impressive structure. There seems to be ample security systems in place, some of which are hidden from ordinary view.

As an example the entire hill area surrounding the Money Bin, as McDuck prefers to call it, is studded with numerous landmines and even cannons that pop up from underground when a trespasser nears them. Around the structure there is a wide moat filled with acid. So no one can enter the structure without being noticed.

This reporter is concerned that the police will take action against these exterior security systems - although they are clearly marked with large warning signs - because fatal accidents can well happen; after all, small playing children, stray dogs, and wild rabbits cannot read!

A few of the interior security systems

Inside the structure there are a multitude of burglar repellants (as if a burglar would ever make it this far!). For instance, a Boer War cannon, electric eyes, and a so-called Burglar Batterer in the shape of a giant boxing glove thundering down from the ceiling! (WDCS135)

Just in: This spring night's uncharacteristic and totally unexpected catastrophic frost weather - possibly combined with a leaky waterpipe - has completely destroyed the tank. It will probably never be rebuilt.
