    "In November 1997 the then Treasurer, Peter Costello, shocked some people when he announced he'd signed off on the sale of $2 billion worth of Australian bullion. On the day he announced the sale the price was around $US306. 00 an ounce." (Source: ABC)

    That would be worth over $12 billion now.
