Frequently Asked Questions

How much does $1 million in $100 bills weigh?

About 10 kilograms or 22 pounds. That is 10,000 bills, each weighing 1 gram. The stack stands about 110 cm (43 inches) tall and fits in a medium briefcase or backpack.

How much does a billion dollars weigh in $100 bills?

About 10 metric tons (22,000 pounds). The stack would be 1.1 kilometers tall if not compressed. In $20 bills the same billion would weigh 50 metric tons - hence why drug cartels prefer $100 bills.

Are all US bills really the same size?

Yes, since 1929 the US has standardized all denominations to 156 x 66.3 mm. This is unusual - most other currencies vary size by denomination, which helps the visually impaired distinguish bills.
