It's a lot heavier than that! The density of steel varies as there are different alloys, but most are in the range of 7.5-9 g/cm^3

Gold has a density that's more than double most steel alloys at 19.3 g/cm^3. Of course, that's assuming we're taking about pure gold, but still, gold is way more than 10% heavier than steel
