A talent as a measure of money weighed around 33kg (75lb) of gold. In todays terms that's worth around 825,000 US Dollars or 415,679 UK Pounds.
So 3200 Talents are worth around 2,640,000,000 US Dollars or 1,330,172,800 UK Pounds in todays terms.
That would do me very nicely ;)

What is the difference between a fiat currency and a gold-backed currency?
Fiat currency is based on faith that it is worth something, much like an IOU. If the authority printing that currency has good credit, the currency will be worth more, and the opposite is true, as well. Gold-backed currency is just that: currency which represents the exact value of gold printed on it. So, a $1 treasury note = $1 in gold. Traditionally, with a gold-backed currency, you, the holder of that note, would be able to go down to your local bank and exchange that note for the same amount of gold. In short, with a fiat currency, everyone agrees that it's worth that amount, and it is subject to national credit ratings. With a metal-standard currency, the currency is based on the price and value of a particular metal, like gold. There are currently no gold-backed currencies. Every currency in the world is a fiat currency.

What is the Gold Standard?
The basing of a currency on gold. In some sense in such a system, gold IS the currency and money is a symbol for a corresponding amount of gold, backed by the issuer - i.e. the bank promises that by some means you are always able to exchange X of its currency for Y gold, and vice versa. No country still uses the gold standard - modern currencies are free floating with their value determined by local markets and exchange rates with other currencies. Even so, national governments still usually carry large gold reserves as a holdover from the time when they needed them as a physical guarantee. Gold has remained valuable over thousands of years so it can always be sold as needed for any currency (including its own) that a country might need, or bought to safely store wealth. A currency system in which each dollar is worth 1/20 of an ounce of gold (gradpoint)
