    There are 25076 $100 bills in a cubic foot, so $2,507,600. Should weigh about 51.18 pounds.

    Any other questions?

    It'll be a little bit wider both ways with 10 (2 x 5) stacks, but... each stack will take 3,000 to get to a foot high. So...

    30,000 $100 Bills = $3,000,000.00

    Depends on which size you get. I've seen them in 1 kg bars, 100 toz bars and 400 toz bars.

    I always thought the standard was 76 pounds.

    so 76 times 12 times ~$600 = what ever that is..

    There's 12 troy oz per pounds, right?


    Addendum, google says 14.58 troy oz per lb.

    1 lb = 14.5833 troy oz.

    1 troy oz. = 31.1034768 grams

    If you want to minimize space required consider diamonds...

    "Regular" briefcases come in all sizes now.

    You can cleanly stack 60 $10,000 straps (or 300 $2,000.00 straps) of $100.00 bills lengthwise:
    5 deep X 3 long X 5 wide IF, on the interior, there is;
    4" depth ($50,000)
    18 1/2" length ($150,000)
    10 1/2" width ($600,000)


    OR, stack 'em breadthwise 5 X 6 wide X 2 if it's got dimensions of at least:
    4" depth ($50,000)
    15 3/4" length ($300,000)
    12 3/8" width ($600,000)

    Then again, the bucks can also be stacked in modular fashion, in which case, you'll have room for a yo-yo or a couple of "8-balls"...

    Huh?

    A kilo of cocaine takes up WAY more space than a kilo of gold... or diamonds!

    Gold certainly...

    Diamonds,... I am not sure. Density of packed cocaine vs density of loose diamonds?

    Diamonds weigh 3.52 grams/cc, But I couldn't find density of cocaine... realy just need the measurements of a Kilo brick to back it out...

    Wow.

    So the limiting factor is weight, not volume.

    An 18 cubic foot trunk would be sitting on its springs with 900 lbs in it!

    11 years of university and a dissertation and I end up calculating how much cash will fit in the trunk of a mid size car for a doc that spend his whole career with cold hands...
