Number of coins per pound: 50.Number of pounds 2540K GP weighs: 50800 lbs.Number of pounds in a ton: 2000.Number of tons 2540K GP weighs: 25.4 t.He said that he multipled the price by a factor 10: Number of tons 254K GP weighs: 2.54 t.Plat is also a factor of 10, so using plat for the original inflated price, 2.54 t. Using plat for the non 10x price is 0.254 t.Running a direct conversion of this into modern terms, where plat is ~$700 per troy oz, gives 700*0.254*2000*16/1.1 = $5.17MWith gold, the figure is somewhat more unwieldy: Gold is ~$370 per troy oz, which gives us 350*2.54*2000*16/1.1 = $27M.That is a hell of a lot of money for such an item. You can purchase a heck of a lot of blackmarket antitank weaponry for 30 million bucks.</blockquote>
