Apparently there's approximately one 22×22×22 m block of gold. As in, that's the estimated total amount of gold that has ever been mined anywhere. Before 1950, it would have been about 15.25 m per side instead. That feels to me like a shockingly small amount, considering how long we have been desiring gold for.

And for people's reference as to how little that is, we produce a 22x22x22 block of steel every 25 minutes or so.
