It's always amusing how people easily carry $1M cash in the movies.
- nixpulvis 1y agoThose are probably $100 bills. So you only need to fill a bag with 100 bundles. Easily fits in a duffle bag I'd assume.
- tbrake 1y agowell, using larger denominations helps.
- sschueller 1y agoI think you could tell if the bill was purple (Swiss franc [1]) instead of green in the movies...

- c249709 1y agoif it's in $100 bills you can fit it in a suit case easily with lots of space left
- Taek 1y agoIn the movies, it's $100 bills, which are considerably more portable than $1 bills.
- mv4 1y agosorry I missed that.
- jolt42 1y agoWould you roughly say 100x more portable?
- IAmBroom 1y agoUsing somat's estimate of 49" on a side, it would roughly weigh the same as 49^3/100 cu in of solid wood. Given a range of 0.01-0.03 lb/cu-in for pine, and choosing the midpoint: 23.5 lb. Very portable. (Yes, it's cotton not wood, but the weight of solid cotton is hard to find, and probably not much different.) Cross-check: bills are apparently ~1g apiece. That predicts $1M in $100-bills is 20.8 lb. Very close.
- ffin 1y agothe cube is full of $1 bills
- kingkawn 1y agoCompress the cube by 100x and you could probably carry it
- steezeburger 1y agoThose aren't stacks of one dollar bills though.

- labster 1y agoYeah, that many pennies would be really heavy. Similarly, I always love it when small women smuggle suitcases full of gold in movies, when it would be heavy enough to break the handle off if it weren’t painted styrofoam.
