This gold in the day would have made you one of the richest persons around. But today that gold is worth only about $50k (300 coins * 5 grams) The millions of dollars quoted are the historical artefact value.

Content is first, production value is second. There are so many musicians with racks of very expensive equipment and who mix and produce in the world best studios yet their music is shit (in my beholder eye). And then you have a 15-year old

It wouldn't be the first time. During the bird flu scare, a bunch of countries said that they were ready to ignore the patents on Tamiflu and produce it on their own if they don't get shipments of it - Taiwan, India, Indonesia...
