"Price Per Ounce" In Context

"When it comes to commodities priced "per ounce", the two
most quoted products are silver, and of course gold. But in a broader context
are these prices a lot or little? How do some other less known commodities stack
up to the world's two most precious metals. Here are the prices for a wide
universe of other compounds which are also priced on a "per ounce"
basis...

Copper: $0.24
Silver: $33
Beluga caviar: $345
Gold:
1,700
Carbon 60: $2,495
Cocaine: $4,791
Namibian uncut rough diamonds:
$98,490
Plutonium Oxide: $165,500
Soliris (anemia drug): $533,000
Human
eggs: $157 trillion

That said, we doubt any of the above have the wealth
and capital preservation capabilities of those two most popular shiny metallic
objects which may or may not be edible, but have survived the rise and fall of
nearly 3000 paper currencies over the ages."
