One of the documentaries on gold stated that all the gold ever mined
would fit in the lower third of the Washington Monument.

I read that it could all be formed into a cube 88 yards per side.

I suspect those comparisons to be questionable.......

If all the gold ever mined were to be brought to one place at one time, impossible and improbable, it seems like it would take up a much larger volume.

I have heard that comparison since I was a small child in the sixties, and I’m sure they have mined much more since then..........
