sizewise i'd say 1lb of gold is about the same size as
a *wine cork*!

according to the live e-gold statistics page at
http://stats.e-gold.com
there are around 200 e-gold account holders with
a wine cork sized chunk of e-gold in their account :)

---
12 troy ounces per pound
gold:
density 19300 kg / m^3

work it thru - 1.06 inches per side of a cube - a little
bigger than a 6 sided game die.

nearby wine cork is about 7/8 inch diameter and 1 3/4 inches
long which is just over 1 inch cubed.
