Now, the bills are bundled, wrapped, and in bags... neatly stacked.

(Don't ask me how I know)

We're supposed to "guess" at this and not be currious about how you know how they are packaged inside ???

Bundled meaning the sticky paper "napkin/silverware" wrap thingie...
Wrapped meaning a certain amount of bundles are in a "brick"... and in a plastic bag
Stacked Neatly meaning the wrapped bundles are arranged to limit wasted space within the box.

Can't reveal source, but it involves an armed "babysitter" at all times.

Would it fit in Chris’s stainless steel, side by side refrigerator that never has any beer in it?  Are these bundles in your basement, garage, cabin, family room or El Camino?

It would fit in a fridge, minus a 12'r or two... Can't say where the bundles are - classified... just know how much in how much space.

I need to change my vote to the 12.2 also. I was allowing for too much wrapping and bags.

I did find a Delke about a 1 1/2 miles south of me. Is that getting close enough share the loot ??

Chris, in that case can I have the box it came in, I could use it as a summer home.  But why would you have a refrigerator with out beer in it.

Using Kevin's dimensions, you can do 128 per inch x 48 inches tall=6144 bills tall

The length is 6-3/16" which gets you 7 bundles long

the width is 2-5/8 which gets you 18 bundles wide

multiply those together and then again by $20, we got 15,482,880, subtract some plastic bag and bundle wrap space ($3M worth though???)





Now, if it were shredded and compressed to fill the entire box so there was no empty space what would it be worth?

 It actually didnt come with the box. In due time im sure it will have the pleasure of chilling many a beers for any occasion that myself or someone else may want the pleasure of enjoying one when they are here.

 Great little car.  Much more room inside than the outward size would suggest.  Wish I could have kept mine.

It's worth watching. Some good driving scenes. Since we moved off topic a while back, another good driving scene movie is Ronin.

I liked the 1969 version better... some of the heist scenes were a bit cheesy, but the ending was better IMHO.

I don't think my escorts at the jobsite would like that... they keep very close "tabs" on the boxes & contents.
