I get that at $500 per troy ounce that the gold would occupy about 111 cubic feet of gold or a 10X11 room stacked one foot deep.

(((1e9 / 500) / 12) * (373 / 453.6)) / 64) / 19.3 = 110.955096

Assuming 12 troy ounces to the troy pound
373 grams/troy pound
453.6 grams per regular pound
one cubic foot of water =64 pounds
the density of gold is 19.3 times as much as water

Based upon a previous post, there are 150 pallets with 80 bars at 100 lbs each equal 1,200,000 pounds of gold.

Your post indicates lbs to grams equal (1,200,000 X 453.6) is 544,320,000 grams. Grams to troy lbs divide 544,320,000 by 373 will give you 1,459,302.95 troy lbs. At 12 troy ounces to the lbs 1,459,302.95 troy lbs equal 17,511,635.39 troy ounces. At apporximately $500.00 per troy ounce, the value of the room is $8,755,817,695.35.

I don't care that it would crush the lower pallets. I just want a lot of trucks and forklifts.
