US Banknotes

Soaking dollar bills in liquids such as water or any other liquid will damage the bills as they are made from paper and cotton fibers. The bills can disintegrate, tear, or lose their value if soaked for an extended period. It's best to keep dollar bills dry and handle them with care.

No. All you'll get is a pile of ashes that used to be a $1 bill.

If you think about it for, oh, a second or two, if such a bizarre story were actually true, wouldn't people all over the country be doing it, and in any case how could anyone outside of Harry Potter create magic money?

Current US bills have a mass of approximately 1 gm regardless of denomination.

Well, that's not quite as hard as it looks. All US notes these days are of a standard size and weight, and their weight is approximately one gram.

Ten billion dollars divided by 100 equals 10 million 100 dollar bills, each weighing 1 gram.

There are approximately 453.6 grams to a pound, so 10,000,000 divided by 453.6 would equal approximately 22,046 pounds.

A US ton is 2000 pounds, so 22046 divided by 2000 would yield a weight of approximately 11.023 US tons.

It doesn't. A dollar bill has a mass of 1 gram. A modern US quarter has a mass of 5.67 grams.

A dollar bill has a mass of 1 gram. A modern US quarter has a mass of 5.67 grams.

One dollar bill (or any American bill for that matter) = 1 gram. 1,000,000 bills = 1,000,000 grams. 453.6 grams = 1 pound, so (1,000,000 / 453.6) 1,000,000 bills = 2,204pounds, or one metric ton ("tonne")

All current US bills have a mass of about 1 gram, regardless of denomination.

No. Despite many Internet conspiracy rumors claiming otherwise, US bills do not have magnetic ink, bar codes, or RFID chips.

Modern bills $5 and higher DO have special strips that glow under UV light and watermarks, and bills $10 and higher have special inks that change color when you tilt the bill.

The largest denomination of U.S. currency ever produced was the $100,000 bill, featuring President Woodrow Wilson. However, these bills were used only for transactions between Federal Reserve Banks and were never in public circulation.

All current US bills have a mass of 1 gram. Ten thousand $100 bills equal $1,000,000, so their weight would be 10,000 gm.

Shifting the decimal point to change to kilos (SO much easier than pounds and ounces!!) gives a weight of 10 kg.

According to my scale, it is 1.023 grams but this is not a brand new bill. A brand new bill of any denomination is roughly 1 gram.

Each note no matter what the denomination weighs one gram.There are 454 grams to a pound.So one pound would have 454 notes.A million dollars in ones you take 1,000,000 dollar notes divided by 454 and come out with approximately 2202.6 pound for one million dollars in one dollar bills

If you use an accurate trade legal scale a 100 bill weighs .9163 grams, not 1 gram

so 10,000 100 dollar bills weighs 9163 grams

A pound ( Avoirdupois ) is 16 oz

An Oz is 28.35 grams

16 x 28.35= 453.6 g - so 1 lb = 453.6 grams

9163 grams the weight of 1 million in 100 dollar bills divided by 453.6 grams in a pound = 20.2006 lbs per million

All U.S. notes weigh about 1 gm regardless of denomination.

Also, this site has a Coins and Currency thread that is more appropriate to questions about, uh, coins and currency. Miscellaneous questions tend to be ignored as leftovers.

You shouldn't try to clean coins or bills because it reduces their value. The only time money should be cleaned is when it has external damage such as being in a fire or encrusted with crud from being buried, and those situations can't be handled at home - you need a professional conservator.

In any case, 1957 silver certificates are worth only about $1.25 to $1.50 in circulated condition, so if you reduce that by cleaning you're back to a buck.

There are plenty of books and websites that list all sorts of conversion factors. Assuming you mean standard avoirdupois pounds (the kind used in normal weighing) and not troy pounds used for some precious metals*, the conversion factor is 1 lb = 453.6 gm, so 3 lb is about 1361 gm. Of course you could also see the same number by looking at, say, a 3 lb package of cookies in the supermarket! * Yet another reason we should join the rest of the world and go metric, but that's another thread.

The short answer is about 2200 pounds, or quite literally OVER ONE US TON! Actually to be precise here, they would weigh 2204.622621 pounds, or one standard metric ton ("tonne") - a heck of a lot of weight!

I guess that would make it impossible to carry around $1 million in singles...well I suppose if you used a pickup truck...but I digress, I guess it would be much better to use $100 bills, as that would cut it down to only 22.046226 pounds (given you've got a million in cash that is)!

OK, so how did I get to that figure, you ask? Take a look below (and consequently feel free to check my math as it's not always my strongest subject).

Given that a dollar bill (actually any denomination bill) weighs 1 gram, it stands that 1 million dollar bills would weigh 1 million grams.

There are 453.59237 grams in a pound - and therefore the same number of dollars per pound.

1,000,000 / 453.59237 = 2204.622621

Conclusion: 1 million dollar bills = 2204.622621 pounds!

Using the same math if we made it $1 million in $100 bills (which is 10,000 of them) it would weigh a little bit over 22 pounds (22.04622621 to be exact).

The math on that is either the original 2204.622421 pounds / 100 = 22.04622421

OR - the long way to check that is 10,000 $100 bills would weigh 10,000 grams. 10,000 / 453.59237 = 22.04622621 pounds.

NOTE: I found the weight of a bill by looking on the internet, and I think it may even have been here on wiki actually.

$2 bills have all the same markings as $1 bills. The big letter inside a black circle to the left of Jefferson's portrait indicates the Federal Reserve Bank branch.

During WWII the US printed special bills for use in Hawaii and in the combat zones of North Africa. Each type had a special overprint and different color ink (yellow for North Africa, brown for Hawaii) to make them easy to identify. The idea was that if these bills were captured by the enemy they could easily be declared worthless without disrupting the use of standard currency in non-threatened areas.

These special bills are prized by collectors. As of 01/2011, approximate prices for North Africa silver certificates are:

$1 (1935 A): $10-$20 in average condition; $200 or more if crisp and uncirculated.

$5 (1934 A): $20-$60; $250

$10 (1934): extremely rare - prices range from $1200 to over $10,000

$10 (1934A) : $20-$60; $200

Wisdom can help us see the value of being confirmed by guiding us to reflect on our beliefs and values, and encouraging us to seek deeper understanding. It can also help us recognize the importance of embracing traditions and community support in our spiritual journey. Ultimately, wisdom can enable us to appreciate confirmation as a significant milestone in our spiritual growth and connection to our faith.

There are no US bills of any denomination with a 2011 date. The most recent series date is 2009, which is the year that Timothy Geithner was appointed as Treasury Secretary. The next series will be dated 2013, the year that Jack Lew assumed that office.

The value of a one peso Philippines silver certificate depends on the condition, rarity, and demand for the specific note. Generally, these certificates can be worth anywhere from a few dollars to a couple hundred dollars to collectors. It's recommended to consult with a currency appraiser or numismatic expert for an accurate valuation.

Check the letter in the Federal Reserve seal to the left of Jefferson's portrait. If it's a Kansas City bill, it will have the letter J. Likewise, the serial number (in green lettering) will also start with J.
