Hi...well each note no matter what the denomination weighs one gram.There are 454 grams to a pound.So one pound would have 454 notes.A million dollars in ones you take 1,000,000 dollar notes divided by 454 and come out with approximately 2202.6 pound for one million dollars in one dollar bills.

I have a question.  How many files a file drawer can hold. Well the file drawer holds 70 pounds of weight.
Answer so far, 5 lbs is about 500 pieces of paper normal size. so thats 7000pieces per drawer-but what about those files folders?

The weight is important if you are trying to calibrate a scale.  Pennies weigh exactly 2.5 grams, dollars (and checks) weigh exactly 1 gram.  Use a dollar and a penny and you have exactly 1/8 of an ounce.

Get it?

This is not a stupid question.  One needs to consider this issue when watching movies like Ocean's 11.  The George Clooney version anyways.  They steal 163 million dollars.  I assume the largest denomination available in a casino vault is 100.  This means that there are 1.63 million bills.  The above response says there are 454 bills in one pound.  This means that there was 3,590 lbs. of cash to carry.  Divide that by 11 men gives about 326 lbs. of cash per person.  What a sham

It is helpful for visualization. Now I know that one million dollars weighs about 14 time as much as me. So I can extrapolate from there when trying to understand for example, what a huge amount of money $85 billion is. It is about 531,250,000 160lb sacks of one dollar bills. Which is about $283.33 for every man, woman, and child in the U.S.A. —Boy, Iraq sure is getting expensive.

Listen dfas, it's always helpful to remember how much your cash money weighs.  You never know when you'll have to clear out of the house in a hurry with your stash.  

Knowing that (if you've packed the $100's) you only have to carry 22lbs of extra weight to hold your 1MM is good for long-range planning.

Plus, it occasionally helps with math homework, like dude sez.

Hey I am not 100% sure but, if Pete is correct and a dollar weighs 1 gram, which I've heard from other people. Than it would be 453.59 dollar bills to a pound and not 454. This of course is assuming a pound is 16 ounces and 28.3495231 grams = 1 ounce. So a pound of a million bills. Would be 1000000/453.59= 2204.62 lbs

Hopefully 1 million dollars in pounds wasn't part of your extra credit. If anyone can clarify that, it would be nice.

one bill weighs 1 gram ... there are 50 grams in 1.7 ounces.. and 16 ounces in 1 lbs..

with that you can figure out the weigh of any amount of money... its just fun cause it makes you seem like a drug dealer haha.

one mil. in 100's weighs 21.25 pounds

most money in cash that i have ever seen is 52K... how about the rest of you?
