That's ~280kg of gold if anyone wonders

The article says "approximately 303 gold bars, each of which weighed approximately one kilogram"

I guess the gold bars aren't uniformly sized, which would agree with your ~280kg number.

It would make such a fantastic set of barbell plates.

Gold is pretty soft. You would have to cut it to 10 carat, so there’s be even more to go around!

Nah literally crushing plates would feel so good. Worth the effort to melt it again every few sessions

Having to handle the plates with care and the damage they’d take regardless would add to the charm.
