IF A Stack of one hundred dollar bills weighs 10lbs, how many bills are there?

Question

i really would like to know how many one hundred dollar bills that would be.

Answer 1

4545.454545.

$1,000,000.00 =22lbs w/10,000 bills

10/22=.4545454555x10000=4545.454545

According to the U.S. Treasury, "In $100 bills, the weight of $1
million is about 22 pounds." [that's 10 kg.]
http://www.ustreas.gov/press/releases/rr2748.htm

"The size of a dollar bill is 6.6294 cm wide, by 15.5956 cm long, and
0.010922 cm in thickness."
http://hypertextbook.com/facts/1999/DeneneWilliams.shtml

But a more accurate figure for thickness is the actual US government
requirement for currency paper
"Thickness (Caliper). The thickness of the paper shall be 124 ± 7
micrometers when tested as specified in Section 4.2.3.5."
http://www.fedbizopps.gov/EPSData/TREAS/Synopses/142/BEP-06-0001/AttachmentASpecPCDT1-1TypeICurrencyPaper-17Aug05.doc
The same source puts the weight of the paper (without ink) or
"Grammage, grams per square meter" at 88.7 ± 4.0"

So, the area of a single bill is 6.6294 cm by 15.5956 cm which is
.066294 m by .155956 m = 0.0103389471 square meters

Since $1,000,000 requires 10,000 bills, the total area of the bills is
103.389471 square meters
and the total thickness is 124 micrometers * 10,000 = 1,240,000
micrometers = 1.24 meters.
So the height of a single stack is 1.24 meters.
And the volume of the stack is 103.389471 * 0.000124 = 0.01282 cubic meters

And since the total area of the bills is 103.389471 square meters, at
a weight of 88.7 grams per meter or .0887 * 103.389471 = 9.17 kg
[add another .83 kg for the ink and you're back to the Treasury's 10kg. figure.

So in summary, you can have one stack of bills 1.24 meters = 48.82
inches high, or you can have, say, 4 stacks a little over a foot high,
22 pounds all together, or (if you prefer the metric system) 6 stacks
a little over 20 cm high, 10kg. all together.

Answer 2

well from what I remember on my scale a hundred dollar bill weighs 1 gram

so if there is 28 grams in an ounce and there is 16 ounces in a pound

28 x 16 = 448 in one pound

so 10 pounds would be 4,480 hundred dollar bills in 10 pound totalling 448,000 dollars.


I think thats right from what I remember. Its been awhile.

Just remember that is give or take to how much the bill has been handled it may way less or more.

Hope that helps
