Heard this on the news tonight and thought:
A suitcase of gold fair enough- you're fleeing the country, you need to get yourself settled somewhere else, i can kinda understand that.
But 1.5 tonnes, that's just ****ing greedy.

Only if she melts it down and turns it into a jacket or something, now that'll be proper bling.

Wow only took 5 posts to get a Name/developer reference in

48 226.1199 troy ounces in 1.5 tonnes

Gold atm is 1024.35 euro per troy ounce
48 226.1199 x 1024.35 = 49,400,425.91

Not a bad pay day all the same

1.5 tonnes of gold = 1 x Mr T starter kit.:)

Capt'n Midnight

1.5 tonnes / 19.23 = 77 Litres,

the size of a big rucksack


There is no way those trucks in Die Hard 3 could have got up the ramps , actually the chassis/axels would probably have bent long before they were loaded.

A little research elevates a movie.

Bond: Yes, well, I've worked out a few statistics of my own. 15 billion dollars in gold bullion weighs 10,500 tons. Sixty men would take twelve days to load it onto 200 trucks. Now, at the most, you're going to have two hours before the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines move in and make you put it back.
Goldfinger: Who mentioned anything about removing it?
[Bond is stunned into silence]
Goldfinger: The julep tart enough for you?
Bond: You plan to break into the world's largest bank, but not to steal anything. Why?
Goldfinger: Go on, Mr. Bond.
Bond: Mr. Ling, the Red Chinese at the factory, he's a specialist in nuclear fission... but of course! His government's given you a bomb.
Goldfinger: I prefer to call it an "atomic device." It's small, but particularly dirty.
Bond: Cobalt and iodine?
Goldfinger: Precisely.
Bond: Well, if you explode it in Fort Knox, the... the entire gold supply of the United States would be radioactive for... fifty-seven years.
Goldfinger: Fifty-eight, to be exact.
Bond: I apologize, Goldfinger. It's an inspired deal! They get what they want, economic chaos in the West. And the value of your gold increases many times.
Goldfinger: I conservatively estimate, ten times.
Bond: Brilliant.

Quantum of Solace was about water in Bolivia (are they getting flooded with La Nina ?). A bit of research would have shown them that half of the worlds Lithium is there. Lithium is key component of the battery in almost every mobile phone, laptop, MP3 player and most other portable devices. When people realise we've hit peak oil it will be vital for electric cars.

how much is 1.5 tonnes of gold actually worth - i did a quick check there on google with the price of gold and the answer I came with was 48 billion:eek:

I'm sure I did something wrong - surely that couldn't be right....:eek:

I just got this email. :eek:
