I read this before yeah. Its a bit insane that private donors need to step in to fix the very foundation of our societies for them. But its a very nice person who did.

~38.2 kg / ~84 lbs of gold.
Which breaks down to about 2 liters of solid gold.

Does anyone else ever watch a movie where people are moving good bricks and immediately know that the actor, director and prop manager have absolutely zero idea how heavy gold is?
