3.8e7 m^3 gold leaf is needed
1 micron thick
surface area of the moon: 3.8e13 m^2
Gold found: 20.7m^3 to 50m^3
It would take $30.17 quadrillion dollars (USD) to buy the amount of gold needed to gold-leaf the moon. This is 502 times more money than exists in the world. Also, it would require 300-4200 times more gold than has been collected by humans.
