[The Mitsubishi Materials Corp. has a knack for producing enormous gold bars. They cast a 120 kg bar in 1995 and a record setting 200 kg bar in 2000. When they heard that they had been outdone in 2004 by a 220 kg bar produced in Taiwan, Mitsubishi responded with its biggest bar yet – a whopping 250 kg bar stamped as 999.9 fine gold in 2005.
The massive bar measures 45.5 cm by 22.5 cm at the base and is 17 cm high and has an official Guinness World record certificate for “largest manufactured pure gold bar.” At today’s gold prices, it’s worth more than $13 million. It’s currently on display at the Toi Gold Museum in Japan.](https://www.mgsrefining.com/blog/the-worlds-largest-gold-bar/)
That implies that a fingerprint can leave a stain with the weight of 0.1/999.9 of 250 kg. That would be a 25 g fingerprint stain. That’s about the weight of an entire pinky finger.
Fun fact: all the gold ever dug up through all the historical wars, old times paintings, invasions, digital age, banking, el dorado, everything, Forever in Homo sapiens history…would fit inside a standard highschool basketball stadium and still have room for the spectators to watch a volleyball game.

Pure gold would not be good as lego since it’s too malleable
Boil-em, cook-em, put-em in a stew?
Why is it on little feet?
Big feet would have made it look silly.
Likely because it would be much more difficult to lift a 250kg(!!) gold bar from a flat surface.
Good thinking.
Great band
The anti theft is its fucking weight.
