How large is 1 million dollars in size on a pallet in 20 dollar bills?

Answer 1

American currency is approximately 6.125" long x 2.625" wide x 0.004" thick. The base of a standard shipping pallet is 40" x 48". So, you can lay out the bills 6 wide and 18 across, or one layer of 108 bills.

With 50,000 $20-dollar bills, (1 million bucks), that will be a layer of 463 bills deep. At 0.004" thick, that's a height of less than 2 inches high (1-7/8, really). Not very impressive looking at all.

If you are considering shipping a 36-inch high stack, that would be about 975,000 bills. In twenties, that 3-ft high stack would be about 19.5 million bucks. But let's dream big. If they were hundreds, you'd be looking at 97.5 million.
