Gold Bars? Teeny ones. $28 grand is about 14 ounces.
counterfeits?
I have a wedding band that weighs half an ounce.
A standard gold bar weighs 27.4 pounds. Maybe somebody messed up some math.
Maybe that’s what those bags of Chinese seeds was. Magic gold bars
Back in the sixties the Calgary Stampede used to raffle a “$50,000 Gold Brick”. Then, gold was $35/oz, so that was a little over 1400 Troy ounces, or about 119 lbs. By weight, quite a brick.
By volume, however, that’s 140 cubic inches, or say 4 x 5 x 7 inches, pretty small by brick standards.
Today, that gold brick would be worth approximately $3M U.S., or about 4 million Canadian dollars.
