One talent of gold typically represents 33 kg (75 lbs) of gold. At present gold prices its value would be around 1.25 million US dollars. A thousand talents would then be worth 1.25 billion.
This is a difficult question to answer as the Talent varied depending upon the area in which it was used. As an example, the Babylonian Talent (as used in the Old Testament) was equivalent to 30.3 kg whereas in the New Testament, what was known as the 'Common talent' was equivalent to only 58.9 kg.And, as the Talent was a unit of weight rather than of currency, its actual worth depended upon whether or not it was a Talent of silver or of gold.Whatever its form, the Talent, transferred to a weight of gold or silver, was an extraordinary amount of money.If we assume a New Testament talent of gold, this represents 58900 grams of gold. At today's prices (April 2011) one gram of gold is worth about US$ 46 (or £28 approx). This means that 120 talents of gold are $46 x 58900 x 120.This is $325,128,000 or £197,904,000.

This answer depends on the current gold price and also the purity of the gold. If this question comes from the 420 talents of gold that Hiram's ships brought back to king Solomon in Ophir then it seems unlikely that they would have been able to get very high quality gold at that time so the figure quoted here might be a bit high. The calculations are: 1 talent = 1093.75 troy ounces 1 troy ounce of gold =~ $1241.34 1 talent of gold =~ $1,357,715 420 talents of gold =~ $570,240,562
About $120
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 ;)
