Hmmm. You have weight and you want size. That means you'll need density!
Now, the density can be googled. Gold weighs roughly 19.32 grams per cubic centimeter.
Now, you simply divide the number of grams in a ton by the number of grams per cc, and you get the number of cc's it takes to make a ton.
Assuming you mean a metric ton (1000 kilos), that's 1,000,000 / 19.32 = 51,760 cubic centimeters.
How big is 51,760 cubic centimeters? The dimensions of a cube are easy to find using a calculator: The cube root of 51,760 is 37.26, so you'd have a 37.26-cm cube. That's just under 15 inches on each side - yep, a 15-inch cube of gold weighs a ton. Yikes!
A short ton (2000 lbs.) will give a slightly different number, but hopefully you see how the process works.
A square block of approximately 15 inches x 15 inches s or 37 cm x 37 cm. Quite a small block indeed and for this reason there have not been any major gold heists.
