You'ld only need a handful of em with tiny files and an apartment near Fort Knox. They could drift over each night and fly back with a never ending supply of gold dust. I think there are a lot more useful applications in the short term for small quantities of nanites besides my little fun example above. It's going to be an interesting future.

stealing gold would be a waste of time. you could always manufacture diamonds... but then, why bother, money itself would be entirely worthless since you could have almost literally anything you wanted.
