It's either the total destruction of all the worlds forests, OR I take a huge financial hit with my unimaginably terrible investment into leaves as currency.
As you can see, by this logic it is ... um ... better for the economy ... that we destroy all the world's forests.
I mean, if gold is massively devalued. Don't think it'd ever be worth less than leaves, but given its actual useful properties (as opposed to its arbitrary use as a currency) gold's value should be a lot lower than it is.

Ya know, it probably would be a lot easier to sanitize all the telephones if it’s just basic dirt from leaves and not trace cocaine everywhere

Imagine brushing all these gold leaves onto a pile, then with a shovel disposing of those leaves.

Well there was a maple syrup heist where $18 million worth of syrup was stolen.

If you want an actual answer, it's not the leaves that go in but the sap inside the tree, and it's a 40 to 1 ratio of sap to syrup.
A bottle will need about 30 litres (8 gallons) of sap.
