Thanks for the ping.

A cubic foot of gold weighs 1208 pounds.

One would think these tin horn dictators would have the sense to spirit gold somewhere else prior to the time the manure hits the fan...

Lets see. 48,000 oz’s would be loaded into 2,400 20 oz tubes as American Eagles are usually packaged. That would make a 75x36 grid of tubes. It would easily fit on top of standard size folding table. If you put stacked the tubes 3 levels high you would have a 25x36x3 “tube” stack. If you stacked them 9 units high it would be 25x12x9 tube stack

The silver tube I have handy is almost exactly 1.75” square and just under 3” high. So you could fit this amount of gold, packaged in tubes, into a 44 X 21 X 27” container.

In other words it would fit in a very large trunk. But it would be VERY VERY VERY HEAVY.
