Very interesting, thanks for sharing. 
Imagine it like using a wad of 1000 $100 bills as a door stop! 
My brother was telling me about that a couple days ago. That's so so crazy.

Here's one that's worth $240,000: https://www.geologyforinvestors.com/john-reeds-doorstop-americas-gold-rush-california/
"It all started on a Sunday in 1799 where 12 year old Conrad Reed and some of his siblings were shooting fish with a bow and arrow in Little Meadow Creek, Cabarrus County, North Carolina. Conrad saw something gleaming in the creek and found a shiny rock which he took home to his father – who used it for a doorstop for the next three years. In 1802 John Reed sold his doorstop to a jeweler for $3.50. It turned out to be a 17 pound gold nugget that was worth roughly $4,000.00 at the then price of $20.67 for an ounce of gold and about $240,000 at today’s gold prices. About a year later, John Reed started mining on the property and continued to do so for several decades. The largest documented nugget from the Reed Mine was 28 pounds."
