You got me to thinking... How large would a cube of gold have to be to equal the US national debt at the current spot price?
According to the web site tracking national best, we owe $30,880,150,000,000 (30 trillion, maybe by the time you read this - it goes up fast).
That means a cube of gold weighing 17,983,897,269 ozt
30.71 meters (217 ft) on a side.
It helps put this image into perspective.
