The height of a stack of 1,000,000 one dollar bills measures 4,300 inches or 358 feet – about the height of a 30 to 35 story building. The height of a stack of 100,000,000 (one hundred million) one dollar bills measures 35,851 feet or 6.79 miles.
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!
Not that big a deal.
Make it $20 bills and the stack is only 18 ft high, or 18 small stacks 1 ft high.
Make it $50 bills and you only get 7 stacks 1 ft high.
Would fit into a cardboard moving box - but would be heavy..:^)
And one trillion in crisp 100 dollar bills is a stack 632 miles high. It blows the mind to think that Obama had taken our national debt from 9 to 18 trillion in his occupancy of our White House. And that doesn’t include unfunded mandates.
