I was thinking that this is a pretty rinky-tink looking operation -- I mean, really: hand-lettered labels thumb-tacked to the wooden pallets?
Sumpin' seems wrong with this picture....

Yep, a BILLION DOLLARS, on plain $5 wood pallets, with hand lettered "postit" labels?

And if you zoom in real close the labels say:
"Sh*t Load of Gold #423"
"Sh*t Load of Gold #424"
etc... :)

I disagree.
I see an interior picture with taken with flash: note overhead fluorescent lighting.
Presuppose this is a vault with no other illumination, and the flash is bouncing off the gold in the foreground and hitting the gold immediately behind it.

Additionally (not to sound obsessive/compulsive or anything) it is surprising that there is not near-perfect symmetry to the stacks. Different stacks have different numbers of bars, etc. You would think each pallet would be identically and neatly and evenly stacked and lined up for ease of inventory, auditing and security.
