One day I'll have my very own holideck [whatever that star trek thing is]!

You'ld only need a handful of em with tiny files and an apartment near Fort Knox. They could drift over each night and fly back with a never ending supply of gold dust. I think there are a lot more useful applications in the short term for small quantities of nanites besides my little fun example above. It's going to be an interesting future.

Just aman

stealing gold would be a waste of time. you could always manufacture diamonds... but then, why bother, money itself would be entirely worthless since you could have almost literally anything you wanted.
