Exports are typically ranked in dollars, not in kilograms. Do we think about the weight of GPUs a country exports or their value?

From the article:
>That’s not just because the price of gold reached record high prices. In February 2026, the tons of gold exported may have set an all-time record.

Was anyone confused by the title and thought we are exporting more gold in volume or weight than other products? It seems obvious that gold must be winning on value.
