There are 12 oz troy in a tonne (correct spelling) of gold.
Still a lot of money.

Sorry, I typed too fast. 12 oz troy in a pound troy.
Gold tons are most commonly metric tonnes. There are 32,150.75 oz troy in a metric tonne.
Short tons are also used. There are 29,166.67 oz t in a short ton.

What the heck? Tell them that he gave it to the Klintoon Foundation.
They’ll never investigate it.

Hah! The link directs me to SNL skits that opens with a commercial for
Dewar's and ends with one for
Viagra.
Think you can ply me with Martin Short bits and whiskey, and then let me have my way with you?
You wretch! Cur! Heel! I am not that kind of girl: I would never drink blended Scotch.

Why is the government so obsessed with taking money from people when they can print anything they need for any purpose on a whim?

Why just this morning I was watching Gunsmoke, and the guy tossed a chest of gold off the train and into the buckboard five feet away! Strong dude. I have a small chest of silver (very small chest), and it's incredibly heavy to lift. No way can I toss it five feet away. And that's silver, not gold.

Treasure aside one of the greatest parts of the tale recounted in the book is that the ships sinking made the Titanic look like a pansy fest. In a nutshell most of the men died from exhaustion/drowning keeping the ship afloat by hand bailing until the women were rowed off to a couple of battered sailing vessels in 30 or 40 foot seas!

Did somebody say "Quibble"?
