>>229104per ounce, gold is currently 1,242.4 USD. we'll round that down just to be on the safe side. 1,200 USD. divide into 10,000,000 USD and you will have 8,333.33 ounces of gold. again, to be on the safe side and for convenience we will just call that 8,000. 8,000 ounces of gold. a gold bar weighing one ounce is approximately 42x24x2 millimeters. or eight bars of gold with new dimensions of 42000x24000x2000 milimeters. thats 42 meters of gold. 42 meters of solid gold.
for the sake of your imagination, lets make that into a regular shape.
that same gold bar has a cubic volume of 2,016 meters. a 10x10x10 cube has a cubic volume of 1,000 meters. so double that. thats 16 solid gold cubes. (10x10x10) times 16.
now lets convert that to feet for any non metric users (like myself)
10 meters is approximately 32.8 feet. we'll just make that 32. 32x32x32 cubic feet. remember you have 16 of these cubes. a standard college dorm (for those of us college age) is 12 by 16 feet. for height, a standard door is about 80 inches (confirmed by measuring the door in my dorm, my ten foot tape measure didnt go wall to wall) 80 inches is almost seven feet (six and a half) so we will just call it 8. 12x16x8. 1,500 total cubic feet. a standard college dorm is 1,500 cubic feet for comparison.
back to the gold cubes. i believe we left them at 32 feet per edge (or 10 meters) so that is a volume of 32700 cubic feet. we'll call it 32,500. nah, lets just make it 30. 30,000 cubic feet. divide that by ten for 3,000. multiply the # of cubes to keep it all even. (for reference, we are now at 160 cubes of gold) and then we have to half that. (or double the number of cubes) so that is 320 cubes of 1500 square foot rooms. roughly 300 college dorms.
im pretty sure i must have messed up my conversions somewhere, giving me an extra decimal place.
either way, its more than enough gold to build a fucking castle.
