Recommended Posts

CBI stated that they hold 96 tons of gold  . 1 ton  = 32,000 ounces. 32 ouncesx 96 tons  =3,168,000,000 ounces . Multiply this number by $1200 per oz if you can . My pute doesn't go that far . My math is bad ,but are we into the quadrillion zone?

Maybe a little myth, er, math back ground.

 

Gold is typically priced in Troy oz. A Troy oz. is 480 grains. There are 7,000 grains per pound. So, there are 14.5833333. Troy oz. per pound.

 

Gold can be sold by weights of gram as well like in Iraq. There are 1,000 grams in a kilogram with 1,000 kilograms in a metric ton.

 

There are 453.593 grams per pound.

 

This implies 31.10352 grams per Troy oz.

 

This also implies 2.20462 pounds per kilogram with 2,204.62 pounds per metric ton.

 

So, there would need to be clarification on the actual ton (based on pound vs. metric ton) with also the actual oz. (based on pound vs. Troy).

 

Either way there is a nominal 10% difference that is mostly irrelevant for rough numbers for valuations.

Time for me to back to Mrs.Huffer's level 3 math class . So at approximately $63 mill per ton multipliedby 96 tons is approx 3.5 trillion . ??? Not bad for a country with a mere 40 million people .,plus are the other stuff they have ,like sweet crude . How can they not rv ? that's the question .

Not sure where the referenced article/info came from......so

 

Internationally when referencing Gold it is usually figured in Tonnes........not tons.......this would be the equivalent of a metric measure.....which will change your numbers.....

 

Ton and tonne are both units of measurement. In the United States, a ton is 2,000 pounds. Outside the United States, a ton can refer to a metric ton, which is 1,000 kilograms, or 2,204.6 pounds. Atonne is another word for metric ton.

Thanks for your input my pp,

Euphrates and Tigris. Iraq is fed by two major rivers, the Tigris and the Euphrates, both of which originate outside of Iraq. These two rivers account for 98% of Iraq`s surface water supply. Their flow is therefore very vulnerable to dams and water diversions in Turkey, Syria and Iran.
