Gold Bar

I visited the Bank of England Museum today and this gadget allows you to lift a gold bar and feel its weight; 12kg!

I recommend a visit to anyone in the City of London because it’s free and contains fascinating items going back to the formation of the Bank of England in 1694.

I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve been to London. First I’ve heard of this museum.

So intriguing to read about the weight.

That does sound very intriguing! 12kg of gold bullion would be worth a pretty penny!
