How much in kilograms does a hundred thousand talents of gold and a thousand thousand talents of silver weigh and their current value 1 Chronicle 22v14?

According to ChristianAnswers.net (see related link), the Hebrew talent, which consisted of 3000 "sanctuary shekels" (Exodus 38:25-26), is roughly 94 3/7 lbs avoirdupois. The Greek talent, however, was lighter. According to 2 Samuel 12:30, a talent of gold was twice the weight of a talent of silver. The current value of gold and silver fluctuates daily; as of October 14, 2008 12:22 pm EDT, one Troy ounce of gold is going for about US $ 826, while one Troy ounce of silver is at about US$ 10.81. Since the current market values are changing greatly, these values could be invalid at the time someone reads it. Still, given those values, a hundred thousand talents of gold would be worth roughly US$ 227,495,216,004.54, while a million ("thousand thousand") talents of silver would convert to US$ 14,886,339,497.64.
