Rather than 18,000 of something you didn't specify, I am going to guess that you meant 18 Karat gold - but it would have been really nice if you had actually SAID that.
At this moment, gold is at $1389.40 per troy ounce or $44.67 per gram. 18 Karat gold is 18/24 or 75% pure, so it is worth $33.50 per gram.
surprisingly, it is worth 18k
That's $18,000 - eighteen thousand dollars. Next question?
