One million — how much would you have to carry?
One million in thirteen different metals: in iridium the amount weighs only a few kilograms and fits into a small cube, in lead it comes to hundreds of tonnes — with the volume in litres for each metal.
One million EUR — how much would you have to carry?
The same amount, bought thirteen times over. In Iridium the million weighs 3.5 kg and fits into 157 ml — in Lead it comes to 594.9 t.
Material value without premium, taxes or dealer spread, calculated at the latest close. The second line gives the volume: one litre is a cube ten centimetres on a side. Bar length is logarithmic — between the lightest and the heaviest million there is 168,288 times the weight.
