Narrator screws up Gold Count

Did anyone else catch the Narrator give the wrong count for the Hoffmann's gold count? At the beginning of the episode when they do last week's clean up, Todd is shown telling his crew their clean up was 64oz. Then, a little more than half way through the episode, the Narrator says "Last week they got 640oz, worth $76.000..."
Considering the fact that the Beets Family's 760oz is about $900.000, I think it's safe to say the Narrator miss read his script.

I don't know about you but I'd hate to be the person whose job it was to review and edit the narrative.

Yeah, I got confused there as well.

I thought I heard that too but since he got the dollar amount right I figured I just heard it wrong.

I thought I did too, had to go back twice and re-watch just to make sure.

He sure did, unless gold suddenly dropped to $119 an ounce.

That was a pretty blatant screw-up. Hard to see how it made it that far. Actually, that whole episode seemed odd.

Yea, he was way off on that....
How did that make it pass the editors, when we as viewers catch it the first time around...?
