Can 1 million dollars in 100 dollar bills fit in a duffel bag?

Answer 1

Let's see how many 100-dollar bills we will need. 1000000 / 100 = 10000. So how big is 10000 bills:

Now for the dimensions: 2.61 inches by 6.14 inches is pretty easy to find. The thickness. Well I found several different sources. The thickest noted was 0.6 mm {the thinnest was 0.11 mm} (hypertextbook dot com) which is a little over 0.02 inches. So that would be a maximum size. This gives a volume of about 0.376 cubic inches for a single bill, and for 10000 bills it is 3759 cubic inches.

Take the cube root of this and get 15.55 inches. So a cube 16 x 16 x 16 inches will hold it. Another way to put it is divide by 231 inches per gallon and get 16.27 gallons. So get a couple of 13-gallon kitchen size trash bags should do. Remember I used the maximum noted thickness for a bill. Also note that it depends on how you stuff them in (air pockets). But a nice size duffel bag should work fine.
