06-08-2026 07:00

A mint in Australia makes the biggest gold bar in the world. It weighs over 520 kilograms.

More than 35 people work for three days to make this special bar. It is pure gold. It is worth over 100 million dollars. People from Guinness World Records watch them make it. Now, it is a new world record. The old record is 300 kilograms in Dubai.

Australia wants to show the world that it makes the best gold. Soon, people can go to the mint and see this gold bar with their own eyes.

Difficult words: mint (a factory which makes metal money and bars), pure (something which has only one substance in it), worth (the money price of something).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What was the old world record for the gold bar's weight and where was it set?
