$22,000,000,000 Treasure Found

Via CBC: 



A vast treasure trove of gold coins, jewels and precious stones unearthed at a lightly guarded Hindu temple in India was expected to grow further in value Monday as the last two secret vaults sealed for nearly 150 years are opened...
Four vaults recently opened at the temple in Trivandrum, the capital of the southern state of Kerala, held a vast bounty that unofficial estimates peg at $22 billion US...
The volume of gold and silver coins was so enormous that the investigators weighed the coins by the sackful, rather than counting them, officials said... 
Before the trove was uncovered, there was almost no visible security at the temple, save for a few local security guards patrolling the complex with batons, mainly for crowd control.
$22,000,000,000  WTF?!?!?!?!!
