How much does one million dollars in one hundred dollar bills weigh?

How much does $1 million weigh? That would depend on the denomination of the bills you use. Since there are 490 notes in a pound, if you used $1 bills it would weigh 2,040.8 pounds, but if you used $100 bills it would weigh only 20.4 pounds.

There seems to be some disagreement. Again. Pack it in a suitcase, and give me a 10 minute head start....who cares what it weighs!

This is ridiculous, was this question and answer even vetted?

Al Breyette

The correct answer would be 22.04 pounds according to the US Mint who prints them.

The answer does not match the treasury dept Are these answers checked?

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing states that all US bills weigh a single gram. This means that $1,000,000 in $100 bills weighs around 10 kilograms (22.046 pounds). However, if you wanted your million in single dollar bills, that same amount of money would weigh a metric ton (2,204.623 pounds).

Leapy Lee, Why don't you start up a site that's Australia-centric?

Gary Chadwick

You do know America isn't the only country to have Dollars and Cents. Some also still have Dollar Bills. There are also too many variables.

US currency? Am over the presumption that the US is the centre of the universe on this quiz site.

It won't be at all heavy to carry away💸

Mark James

Where in the question does it ask for this to be in US dollars?

Pat Askew

Wrong. www.quora.com/How-much-does-1m-in-100-bills-weigh 100 dollar US federal reserve notes weigh exactly 0.8 grams. 1 Million Dollars is 10,000 Bills. 10,000•0.8= 8000 grams. $1 million in $100s weighs 8 kilograms, or in American: about 17 pounds. A small briefcase could easily hold the bills.

Glenn Harshman, your estimate of a $100 bill is incorrect. It is nowhere near as heavy as 8 grams as you say. Also your conversion from grams to kilograms is incorrect - 80,000g is 80kg and not 8kg!
