Question: Passage: As of the census of 2000, 750,097 people, 286,098 households, and 197,693 families resided in the county.  The population density was 1,553 people per square mile (599/km²). The 297,434 housing units averaged 238 units/km² (616 units/sq mi).  The Race (United States Census) of the county was 86.46% White, 7.46% Black or African American, 0.11% Native American, 4.02% Asian, 0.03% Pacific Islander, 0.75% from other races, and 1.16% from two or more races.  About 2.04% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race, 17.5% were of German people, 16.7% Irish people, 14.3% Italian people, 6.5% English people, and 5.0% Polish people ancestry according to 2000 United States Census. Around 90.5% spoke English language, 2.0% Spanish language, 1.1% korean language, and 1.0% Italian language as their first language.  Historically, much of western Montgomery County is part of the Pennsylvania Dutch Country, with a great many descendants of German language-speaking settlers from the 18th century.

Question: Passage: The US had a gold stock of 1.9 million ounces (59 t) in 1862. Stocks rose to 2.6 million ounces (81 t) in 1866, declined in 1875 to 1.6 million ounces (50 t) and rose to 2.5 million ounces (78 t) in 1878. Net exports did not mirror that pattern. In the decade before the Civil War net exports were roughly constant; postwar they varied erratically around pre-war levels, but fell significantly in 1877 and became negative in 1878 and 1879. The net import of gold meant that the foreign demand for American currency to purchase goods, services, and investments exceeded the corresponding American demands for foreign currencies. In the final years of the greenback period (1862-1879), gold production increased while gold exports decreased.  The decrease in gold exports was considered by some to be a result of changing monetary conditions. The demands for gold during this period were as a speculative vehicle, and for its primary use in the foreign exchange markets financing international trade. The major effect of the increase in gold demand by the public and Treasury was to reduce exports of gold and increase the Greenback price of gold relative to purchasing power.
Question: Was the gold stock of the United States higher in 1862 or 1866?

Answer:
date
