In case you wondered, $1M in cash ($100 bills) weigh approximately 22 pounds (about 10 kilograms).
Last week I was watching that episode of Better Call Saul where he carries $7M throughout the desert for 36 hours, and realized his bags were supposed to get ripped 4 minutes into the process.

Calculation by Claude:
Here's the calculation:
A single US banknote weighs about 1 gram regardless of denomination.
So 70,000 bills × 1 gram = 70,000 grams = 70 kilograms = 154 pounds.
That's quite heavy - equivalent to carrying around a large person!
Those 70,000 bills would also represent $7 million in cash
* edit corrected the pounds calculation
- hinterlands 1y ago> In case you wondered, $1M in cash ($100 bills) weigh approximately 15.4 pounds (about 10 kilograms). Your answer is incorrect. You asked Claude to calculate $7M, which netted 154 pounds, but you then divided it by 10 instead of 7 to get the weight of $1M. Further, it's quite irrelevant here, as the display involves $1 banknotes, not $100 bills. The correct answer, without the need for an LLM, is: 1 million bills times one gram = 1 million grams = 1,000 kg = 1 metric ton.

- actionfromafar 1y agoThat's perhaps the heftiest clue that it might not be actually 1 million $1 bills. Looks unsafe to perch it like that.
- jjk166 1y agoIt's substantially more than 1 million $1 bills.
- actionfromafar 1y agoSo more than a metric tonne swiveling like that? Sounds dangerous.
- jjk166 1y agoNot particularly. That whole cube could be supported by a 1/4" diameter steel pin. The actual support almost certainly has a double digit factor of safety.
