The bigger ones aren't any more impressive . . . but they sure are nice to own.

I remember when I was a kid my dad brought one of those home for fun. It was maybe 1.5"x3". I had heard that gold was very malleable, so for fun I tried to bend it. It bent to a 90 degree angle with hardly any force! So I quickly tried to bend it back, and ended up with a wave in the middle of the piece. Man, was I terrified! Out came the hammer and I managed to get it pretty flat. Never heard anything from the old man, so I guess I did a decent job of it
