Weight of money

[Bratnia]

67 troy ounces of gold coins recently has around (£1500/ounce) £100,000 value. Weighs around 4.57 pounds.

4.57 pounds weight of £20 notes is around 2073 grams/£20 notes (a £20 note weighs about a gram) around £41,460 value.

It requires more energy to move/carry heavier things around. Pound (weight) for Pound and gold takes up less space and weighs less than £20 notes. 

Stop wasting energy, hold gold instead of £20 notes, its more than twice as efficient.

How small would a 20 pound gold coin be ..  don’t want to leave a few of those in your jeans pocket in the washing machine

@Bratnia  Gold  v  £20  Bank notes?

These are the first QEII  £20 banknotes issued in 1970, depicting William Shakespeare. You may not be old enough to remember these! 

Anyway a quick quotation from Romeo & Juliet  “What light from yonder window breaks?”  The answer might be….

“Two Gold Britannias, or NOT Two Gold Britannias! 😃

I remember these (just) and the old Nightingale tenners.

Slight digression of topic, but have included another 2 Britannias to stay in the gold section!

It was as you remembered, but a bit later - 1975, about Nightingales time during the Crimean war. Perhaps they could do with her now?

Unfortunately I do. And remember the 1d coinage, sixpence for the saturday morning matinee biff-bash-bosh. (Mildly) the wrong side of 60 now
