Fort Knox was an establishment containing Earth's largest gold depository before the New World Economy took form in the late-22nd century.
It was located in the state of Kentucky of the United States of America. At its peak, it held upwards of 50 metric tons of bullion, worth $9 trillion US. It became a museum after the New World Economy formed. It was considered virtually impenetrable despite an attempt by Ferengi to break in in 2365.
In 2375, while planning a heist of a Borg transwarp coil, Captain Janeway of the USS Voyager used Fort Knox as a metaphor to explain the scale and the level of security around the prize they sought. Some of the staff did not understand what Janeway meant, requiring Tom Paris to explain.
