Best Answer

6.14" x 2.61" x .0043"

weight: approximately 1g (.002205 lbs.)

width, height, & weight from http://www.treas.gov/education/faq/currency/production.shtml

For specs on paper used in printing US currency, go to https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=469eee7f688ec8c758fd23661becd916&tab=core&_cview=1

and download AttachmentASpecPCDT1-1TypeICurrencyPaper-17Aug05.doc

Probably another spec somewhere on the site for ink, but I think the 1g figure is a good approximation.

The above spec specifies a thickness of 124±7 micrometers, which works out to about .00488", but I think the printing process squashes the paper down to about .0043", the number widely used as the estimated thickness of a single bill. Note that paper compresses well, so in a tall or tightly bundled stack the individual bills may be thinner.

Some one must have done a detailed survey of average weights & thicknesses of US currency, but I couldn't find one in a quick online search.
