Hmmm tungsten. I learnt fro Scrooge McDuck that tungsten has a remarkable value per weight, no joke, and i am paying attention.
In 2018, assuming the side length is around 170cm this would be about 19.25 tons/m³ × 5m³ × $30000/ton = $2,887,500
Also this would mean that the studio floor is carrying ~100 tons on that spot the cube occupied, pretty strong.
Best I can do is $30
You learned that from Duck Tales? That same rich duck only lied to me that it would be possible to dive into a pile of gold coins like water.
it was an older story but not sure if it was a specific ducktales episode. You can't swim in gold, only Scrooge McDuck can. Even in the comics.
It happens in the new series too. Only one of the nephews manages to pick up the skill.
Gold coins slide off a duck’s back or something like that.
That's far older than Duck tales.
