Production of gold

The World Gold Council states that as of the end of 2014, "there were 183,600 tonnes of stocks in existence above ground". This can be represented by a cube with an edge length of about 21 meters. At $1,075 per troy ounce, 183,600 metric tonnes of gold would have a value of $6.3 trillion. World production for 2014 totaled 2,990 tonnes, compared to 2,300 tonnes for 2008.
