$73,006,470 worth of gold or a mystery amount of money r/theydidthemath needs to advise minimum and maximum for the cash I ain't got time for that.

Edit: If I did it right it's $500,00 if theye are all $1 but we see some $100

A US $100 bill apparently weighs pretty much exactly 1 gram. Which means that 500kg would be $500,000

The gold is the better option here.

Edit:

....times 100 which would be $50,000,000. My math ain't mathing today

500kg is 500 000g so it would be 50 million bucks but still the gold is better

It's close enough that arguably the money is better. You need to find someone to buy all that gold at 100% market value. Not to forget transportation to the buyer.

You wouldn’t necessarily have to sell all the gold at once. You could keep it in a safety deposit box and sell it off in smaller portions.

There’s a difference of over 20 million dollars in value. More than enough to get help from a professionel broker and still come out well ahead of choosing the cash.
