Density of gold: 19.32 g/cm^3
210 g/19.32=10.87 cm^3

10.87 cm^3= 0.66 in^3

about 2/3 of a cubic inch, or 3/4 of a tablespoon.

Well, it’s not quite shitting gold bricks, but I’d say it’s close enough to make Trump jealous…

The idea is to save the goose that laid the golden egg … not become it.

In the USA we contract this out to mules, rather than using our own asses.

I’m just glad Alec Guinness had a better plan for smuggling gold.

No I was just imaging the trying to smuggle the eiffel towers the same way the Canadian Mint worker did.

“That is going where?”

Everyone should see that movie. Alec Guinness needs to be known for more than just as Obi Wan Kenobi.
