A £10 note is approximately 74mm x 142mm and is approx 0.125mm thick so the volume of each note is 1313.5 mm^3
So £1Million pounds would be 100,000 notes
would be 131,350,000 mm^3
There are 1 billion cubic millimetres in a cubic metre
So the whole thing would be approx 0.131 cubic metres.
Used notes would take more space because they don't lie flat and so could double the volume.

Well, it is Friday and it is raining outside and I only have a £20note in my wallet but so here goes:
The thickness of a £20 note is ~0.1 mm. (I am glad a kept my micrometer!) and it measures ~ 8 cm x 15 cm.
The volume of a £20 note is 1.2 cm^3 or 1.2 x10^-6 cubic metres. Let's say that a £10 note is about the same.
So a 100,000 £10 notes occupies a volume of ~ 0.12 cubic metres.
So that's how they get all the ransom money in a briefcase in those movies!.

£10 notes are usually kept in doubled-over bundles of 10, so £100 is roughly 7.5 cm by 7.5 cm by 2 mm thick at the thin end but 4 mm thick at the doubled-over end. £1000 in alternated bundles will be about 3 cm thick. Multiply by 10 in every direction for £1,000,000 and it's a block 75 cm by 75 cm by 30 cm, or 30 inches square and 6 inches thick. It's far bigger than a briefcase, more like a couple of big suitcases.
In cubic metres, 0.12 or 0.13 is possibly right for new notes in flat bundles, but 0.75 x 0.75 x 0.3 is about 0.17 for used notes.

OK Thats 100,000 Notes. Each note is 14.2cm by 7.4cm and Each note is about You can get 80 Notes per cm so 100,000 notes would be 12.5 Meters High.
14.2cmx7.4cmx1250cm=131,350cm or 13.135 Meters Squared
Umm Dosn't seem right but I think the maths is Right????

easy what you do is :
£1million = 1,000,000 divided by £10 = 10 would be
1,000,000 divided by 10 = 100,000
1,00,000

i could say i admire the belief approximately Charles Darwin. i don't be conscious of... perhaps somebody who made particular advancements in technology. Churchill is a sturdy selection and Hawking is stable for the destiny. i turn into particularly questioning approximately him.
