## Non-Frequently Asked Questions

### How much would a long hundredweight of gold be worth?

One long hundredweight of gold (1,633 troy ounces) would be worth approximately $3.6 million at current prices. This is about 50.8 kilograms of gold, roughly the contents of a small vault. Few private individuals have ever assembled this much gold in one place.

### Has anyone ever ordered a hundredweight of gold?

Central banks and major gold ETFs regularly hold far more than a hundredweight. The US Federal Reserve holds over 8,000 metric tons (about 158,000 long hundredweights) of gold. A single hundredweight would be a rounding error in their inventory.

### Is 0.000612 the smallest number on this page?

It is among the smallest meaningful conversion factors on this site. The troy ounce is so light compared to the long hundredweight that the decimal requires four places to express. This is what happens when the finest scale of precious metals meets the coarsest scale of bulk commerce.
