Chart: Which countries are falling behind in gold mine production
India tops the global ranking with demand nearly 50 times that of its mined supply.
It could either be a sign that gold has reached a top or it still has further to run: Lego introduced a mining-themed set this spring focused on gold production.
Sets 4200 through to 4204 feature excavators, mining trucks and even a complete mining operation with tiny gold Lego ore.
The large set will set you back $99.

Be warned, the safety precautions around the mine looks minimal.
