If you have ever held gold bullion in your hands, you would first notice how heavy it is even in small 1 oz gold coin sizes.
The reason for this is that fine physical gold is one of the most dense precious metals in the world.
In other words, gold bullion takes up very little space, yet has a real hefty weight to it.
