I work in a Hedge Fund and yard is used as a slang for one billion dollars. So if you had 5000 yards of IRR that would still be 120mm USD. Much preferable to the other outcome
A cubic meter (close enough to a yard) of gold is something like $1 billion (assuming your new dragon horde of gold doesn't devalue it. So gotta keep it a secret). You're now the richest person in history.
I checked before and ALL the gold in history is roughly 8-9k cubic meters, there would be enough of it to not only be the richest person in history but also make it available for extremely cheap to many applications that would need it. It would devalue a lot, but overall the society would benefit from this. And you'd likely still be the richest person ever or close enough.
Very true. Similar thing with Diamonds, cost decreases in synthesizing them makes them more widely available/useable for industrial/scientific applications. Actually this makes me think my choice for this thread should be 5000 yards (cubic) of diamond, not diamondS (plural), diamond... as in a sinlge diamond with a volume of 5000 cubic yards.
So doing the math - if you were more specific and asked for real, in circulation, $50 USD bills - if you had 5000 yards of USD bills laid lengthwise, you would have 29,316 bills. So if you asked for 5,000 yards of $50 bills you'd have right around $1.46 million USD.
Now, if you asked for those bills laid widthwise, you would end up with 68,965 bills. Asking for those in $50s would put you right around $3.45 million USD.
l×b(5000 yards)/ l×b( 1 bill ), now l and b can be interchanged for bill so why would lengthwise vs breadth wise would have any difference, damn is my math weak or what

5000 yards….of money (puts pinky to lip)
