gold bars

Fort Knox contents

Gold bars are rectangular blocks of refined gold, typically produced by mints or refineries and stamped with their weight and purity.

They range from small investment pieces of an ounce or less to large institutional bars weighing around 400 troy ounces.

Gold bars represent wealth in its most concentrated portable form and frequently appear in heist films and fantasies about riches.

The vault held rows of gleaming gold bars.
