A bag is $1,000 face-value and weighs about 55 pounds and is about the size of a bowling ball. For handling convenience, silver bags are always split into two 28 pound bags. They can easily be shaped and the large sized safe-deposit boxes found in most banks will hold several of these half-bags. 100-ounce bars weigh approximately seven pounds each and are 6 inches long, 3 1/4 inches wide, and 1 1/4 inches high. One-ounce gold coins are little larger than a half-dollar.
