Potter Cash: 1,000 Galleons in Time and Space

No: HPFGUIDX 162009

Since the subject has come up, I've tried to create a
visual approximation of the physical size of 1,000 
Galleons.

For the record, using movie coins as an illustration,
and rounding things off a bit. It is 6inch x 6 inch
x 5inch. Roughly a 4 coin by 4 coin matrix stacked
32 coins high.

Note in an 8x8 matrix or 12"x12", there are 15 layers
of 64 coins per layer, and 40 coins on the 16th layer.

So, roughly, 1,000 galleons stacked up, is 6" x 6"
x 5" block of coins. 

That's no small bundle, but as others have pointed out,
the inside of the money bag could be larger than the 
outside, and the bag could be enchanted so that while
the coins are in the bag, they weigh a fraction of there
'outside the bag' weight.

Just a tid-bit.
