At 47 mins.) When Simon is standing atop a building watching the cops and FBI scatter to look for the bomb, he reveals there he has an ulterior motive with the line "Hook, line, and sinker.". Right at this moment, we see the camera pan slowly from left to right across the face of a sandstone building, and down to see a line of dump trucks arriving along Maiden Lane, New York City. That building is actually the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, in fact we aren't shown this until (55 mins.) when Simon and his thugs entering the lift to go to the vault, and one of the thugs has a badge on his uniform that says "FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK". This scene is shown from Simon's POV; his eyes are moving from his target (the building), to his trucks arriving. But it's not only a building we're seeing here. The wall of the Federal Reserve building is shining like stacked gold bullion bricks. It's very likely there's extra set lighting and a filter being used to enhance the colour and make the facade look more gold than it does in real life, or perhaps it's just the afternoon sun. The white discoloration on some bricks serves to further the effect of reflecting gold bricks. He is looking at his intended target with lust, as it shines like gold in the sun, waiting for him, out in the open, with no one to stop him.
