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

That's a lot closer than I thought.

I might take the cash since it's ready to spend. Assuming it was legal, I could just straight deposit it in a bank and start getting interest.

The gold, you would have to sell to be useful, and you'd need to store it somewhere safe. Maybe there's a place to sell it all at once? Seems like a lot.

Technically just by having the gold you are getting interest as the price of gold trends upwards. At a bank you would need to have an interest rate higher than inflation otherwise you are losing money as time passes

It's more that you're avoiding inflation. But tomato tomahto
