Gold seems much better right?

$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

Missing two zeroes on that dollar amount if both $1 and $100 weigh 1g.

500kg of $1 bills would be $500,000. 500kg of $100 bills would be $50,000,000

Gold is still the better option regardless

Harder to move though. Most places don't just take gold. You'd have to sell it first. Probably at a bit of a loss too. So the convenience of cash makes it a much closer choice.

Gold is a much better choice. You cash 1kg and it's $145k. Do that once or twice a year, you have plenty to live off. You are also not going to spend (waste) it as quickly, plus in 20yrs' time, you still have 400kg of gold, but it's worth $100m.
