At first I thought it was real! I am such a schmuck.
That would require 3.5 billion nickles if I calculated correctly. But what a sight that would make.
One guy on Quora tried to figure out how many dump trucks would be needed to carry $1B in nickles.
“the number of dump trucks ... around 900,000. This is all assuming that the trucks can hold the weight of 21,000 nickels, which is 105,000kg (231,000lbs).”
If he were right it would require about 157,500 dump truck loads for $175M in nickles if I did that right. Nerd exercise for the day.
A million dollars in $100 bills would weigh approximately 22 pounds.
So if I figured it right, 175 million x 22 pounds would equal 3,850 pounds.
Even doing it that way would be hilarious!
Thx. Was wondering about that.
