The thickness of 30,000 pieces of paper depends on the thickness of a single sheet. A standard sheet of office paper is typically about 0.004 inches thick.
To calculate the total thickness:
30,000 \times 0.004 \text{ inches} = 120 \text{ inches}
So, 30,000 pieces of standard office paper would be approximately 120 inches thick.

A Ream is a measure of the NUMBER of sheets of paper (500 sheets) How thick that would be will depend on the weight of the paper. Heavier paper is thicker.
nope ive tried it :( multiple times....Well, it depends on what you mean. Of course you can fold a piece of paper lots of times. What you can not do is fold a piece of paper in half lots of times.Your typical piece of paper is about 0.1mm thick. Each fold in half doubles the thickness, so by the time you have folded it 7 times it is 2^7*0.1 mm thick, that's 12.8mm, call it 1/2 an inch thick. And by then your piece of paper is rather small. If it started 8 1/2 x 11, it is now 11/8 x 17/8 inches, or about 1 1/2 inches by 2 inches. (ignoring the size of he folds)The next fold would make it 1 inch thick, and the outside of the fold would be a half circle 1/2 inch radius using pi/2 inches of paper, call it 1 1/2 inches. This isn't going to work.
Each bill is .0043 inches thick. 2000 dollars in twenties, which is 100 bills, is only .43 inches thick.
It would remain 1mm thick.
