Best Answer

This is all based on pure 24 ct gold (if it's not, it gets more complicated because different alloys may alter weights): 1 x CC (cubic centimeter ) of water = 1 gm (gram)

1 x CC of gold = 19.3 gm

1 Pound (Avo) = 453.592 gm

453.592 divided by 19.3 = 23.5021 cubic centimeters of gold.

So, working all that out into a rough rectangle, 1 pound of gold is approximately 4cm wide x 4cm long x 1.5cm high.
