3 to s of gold would have a small volume. I have no idea but I’d guess a cubic yard or less. Anyone know?
The point is that it would be easy to hide.

A little over 5 cubic feet.

If it's 3 long tons, then about 0.155 cubic meters (1/7 of your guess, roughly), or around 20 inches/side.
1 m3 water = 1000 kg. Specific gravity of pure gold is 19.32. So 3 * 1000 / 19.32 = 0.155 m3.
Nominally ~$110 million. Although the coins are worth more than the current price of gold.
