Build a replica of the Arecibo Observatory out of gold.

I got you beat, my site has 208,437 spaces of Native Gold and absolutely nothing else- I was first about to rage at the complete lack of any "useful" metal  but then I realized if I start building everything with gold I will have a giant siege in a very short time, ka-ching!

My Gold is so abundant that it's more abundant than any stone other than Olivine which is 455,803 units. Anywhere I dig I hit gold, it's literally impossible to not dig into gold on this fortress, it's simply everywhere.
I call BS. Provide the save file/screenshots.

You'll have to provide warm, moist kittens at the end of each test chamber.

Where 9% of your town is casualties, is good.

Make a Cacame statue above the entrance, then have the hammer release magma/cave-in bombs on goblins and elves!

When bragging, be sure to actually post the damn save file so we can bask in your awesomeness, we're just going to troll you if you don't  :P.

Be sure to relocate your main dining room in hell as well, and make the obvious joke about it.
It's just immoral to let elves leave the map without being robbed at least a little.

I happened to check my most recent embark with the prospector, and I've got 300k silver... Damn you mineral scarcity 2000. I also have lots and lots of gold, tetra, magnetine and flux.

(Edit) After checking with reveal, levels from z100 down to very bottom are criss-crossed with native silver veins.

Explore the caverns. Then pave them with gold.

Build a giant vault. Mint all gold into coins. Mod in/capture duckman. Allow said duckman to swim in gold coins.

A constructed mountain of Gold.

It's treated as completely normal because this is Dwarf Fortress.  There's absolutely nothing wrong with surrounding yourself with a wall of flames, only to later realize that you're surrounded by a wall of flames.
There's nothing that can't be solved by hurling fifteen roc birds at it.

Still training up furnace operators I have two legendary metal  crafters but unfortunately still can't smelt enough gold to keep up with the craft  rate. I managed to get 2 artifacts - one platinum and one gold in the past year total worth of more than 200,000 , good times - but I get a ton of ambushed and beasts coming around for being only at year 2.

A waterfall with all parts made out of gold that dumps water onto your front entrance.

I'll let you work that one out.
