The pros use Franklins, not Washingtons.
Actually, the pros reckon bank bundles: 100 Franklins plus a wrapper. E.g., Congressman William Jefferson, D-LA, who was found with nine bank bundles, additionally wrapped in aluminum foil, in his freezer, during an FBI raid.
Back in 2009, I posted a calculation:
It was disclosed last year that the Clintons had made $109m since leaving office (mostly speaking fees, consutlting fees, and book royalties). How much would that weigh?Well, $109m is 10,900 standard bank bundles (100 $100 bills). A $100 bill weighs slightly less than a gram. So, throw in the bundle wrapper and say each bundle is 100 grams (paper wrapper, not the foil Congressman Jefferson used). That means the Clintons' fortune weighs 1,090,000 grams, or about 2403 pounds. A long ton of money!
