You are right, sorry. I was trying to write out a thousand million - $1000,000,000, don't know how I let myself just write a million out instead. I think it needs to be written out more.

For example, a trillion is 1,000,000,000,000 and can buy roughly 23 thousand tons of gold according to the figures in this story. 23,000 tons of solid gold. People's eyes would pop if they thought of it that way.

23,000 tons of solid gold.

Which is only about 13% of the estimated total known supply of gold out there.

Yeah, and gold is about 1.7 times heavier than lead.

Us commoners do touch and lift lead, and think it is heavy.

But . . . gold is Heavier!

Hope that poor plane can stay in the air.

If it splashes in the ocean, Spain will claim the gold.
