here is a little gold math

Today’s price is about $1,158 per troy oz (US double Eagle)

14.5833 Troy oz per pound

so a pound of gold is worth $16,888 and takes up as much space in your gun safe as 15 Kennedy silver dollars.

$100,000 is just under six pounds of gold and takes less space than loaf of wonder bread.

To: lack-of-trust

I saw a TV show done by FORMER professional burglers. They always had a hand truck in their van just in class they needed to move a small safe.
Most people do not take the time to lagbolt their safe to the floor. After watching the show, I spent the hour drilling and doing just that.
