What about the total load of the "gold" in the picture and its effect on the floor?

Let's say each pallet weighs 3 tons.   Six pallets high is 18 tons = 36 kips.  Put that on square yard of concrete it comes out to about 30 pounds per sq.in.    Structurally this is nothing.  Everyone likes to go goofy over gold.  Gold salesmen know this.
