A 15 inch cube of gold weighs a ton. So 3,000 tons is almost 6,000 cubic feet per year. A 60’ x ‘60’ x 60’ cube is 216,000 square feet - so the claim is very plausible, even though it sounds far-fetched.

A 60’ x ‘60’ x 60’ cube is 216,000 square feet

You might want to look at that carefully and revise it. Spot your error yet? (Hint, what would the height of your cube be if it was 216,000 square feet but had the volume of a 60x60x60 foot cube?)

I don’t know, those numbers would get us to the volume of the 60’ cube in just 36 years, and the claim I heard was that all gold ever mined in history would fit within it.
