OK, so it’s not made of gold in the true sense of the word, but it does hold a heck of a lot of it. This amazing image is of Round Mountain Gold Mine in Big Smoke Valley Nevada. Operating since 1906, the open pit mine is about 2,500 metres long and 1,500 metres wide, and as of 2006 has produced over 10 million ounces of gold. That’s a lot of toilets.
