    You and I both know that comma placement means you have 12,8 Kg of gold, thank you very much.

    It's not decimal, it's the thousands separator. They have 12800Kg

    That's wrong for either method of decimal/separator mark. None of them omit zeroes without otherwise notating quantity, e.g., 12,8K or 12.8K for twelve thousand eight hundred. Here's an article about it.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator

    Most countries that use periods as thousands separators and commas as decimal marks use the metric system, hence my teasing them.

    Edit: not to add, by your logic my response, 12,8KG, would have been correct anyhow. Are you taking the piss?

    No, I'm dead serious. 5 of those small tiny boxes have more than 12 metric tones of gold on them. How can you doubt that?

    /s, seems needed to clarify.
