It's simply a saying (colloquialism).
To try to get a true answer to the question, you would need to know the exact weight of a coin or bill and divide it into 2000 pounds.
One $100 bill weighs about a gram. A thousand $100 bills would be 1 kilo ($100,000).
So 1 million dollars would weigh 10 kilos or around 22 lbs. A metric ton would in $100 bills would be worth a hundred million dollars.
If it's a ton of 1 dollar bill and every dollar bill weighs 1 gram, and each metric ton is 1000,000 grams, then it's a million dollars. Note that a ton is a 1000 kg, which is 2205 pounds.
