I once got to visit a jewelry manufacturing site where to get in and out you had to go through an MRI to ensure you didn't pick any gold or platinum dust on the tour. There were pallets of gold lying on the floor worth about 200 million. We got a chance to try to pick up a bar of gold about the size of a large loaf of bread and our tour guide said, "if you can pick that up and walk it to the front door, we'll let you have it". Turns out it weighed about 200 lbs and I could not get enough of grip to move it let alone pick it up. Fun visit.
