https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Bullion_Depository https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Bullion_Deposito... “… currently holds roughly 147 million troy ounces (4,580 metric tons) of gold bullion, over half of the Treasury's stored gold.”
- WalterGR 5y ago> (4,580 metric tons) Somehow I always forget the actual (as opposed to figurative) definition of metric ton: “unit of weight equal to 1,000 kilograms (2,205 lbs)” So 4,580 metric tons is 4,580,000 kg (10,098,900 lbs.) That’s… a decent amount of gold. > gold bullion Bullion: “uncoined gold or silver in bars or ingots.” Random page that lists heavy objects: https://247wallst.com/special-report/2018/05/11/the-heaviest-objects-in-the-world/ https://247wallst.com/special-report/2018/05/11/the-heaviest... (Interestingly it includes a lot of objects related to the current Russian invasion of Ukraine, even though the article was written 4 years ago.)
