I agree: you'd probably pawn the gold off to some billionaire for some nominal amount less than its face value. (Would the government let you as a private citizen just sell them like $70 million in gold?) I'm assuming this is legal and in-the-clear, and it doesn't matter if we assume it was created out of thin air.
I say "less than" because the buyers know you probably lack connections and just want it gone ASAP so you're not robbed or worse. Still, whatever percentage hit you take can't be anywhere near the 40% difference between the cash and the gold, and you'd probably dump it so quick that the investment opportunity cost wouldn't matter.
Edit: Although if we assumed this was secret but entirely legal (like I somehow had $50 million but nobody but the revenue service knew), then I could maybe stomach the $20 million loss in exchange for less attention. Still, you'd be drawing a lot of suspicion trying to get that 500 kg of $100 bills into an account (or multiple) before you get found out.
