I don't know, but I've heard all the gold ever mined would not fill a swimming pool.

Experts estimate that some 10 billion troy ounces of gold have been produced in the history of humanity, or just over 311 million kg. That would be a cube roughly 25 metres on each side. To date, some 1.4 billion kg of silver have been mined throughout human history. However, silver corrodes, and just under half of that silver no longer exists as a metal. Of what has been mined, only 777 million kg still exists.
