I caught part of this movie and was realizing what a joke it was.....


20 million in 20's (thats 1 million bills)
10 million in 10's (another million bills)
20 million in 50's (another 400,000 bills)


2.4 million bills


All bills weigh ~ 1 gram (think paperclip)

~ 454 grams in a pound


2,400,000 / 454 = 5,289 lbs


No weigh in heck ..... lol such a silly point

the point of the movie is that he specified 20 mill in 20, etc

And my point is that they should've asked for Euros :)

And FU to the person that overanalyzes this and notices that Euro coins and banknotes weren't used until several years after the movie was made.

If they had used 1000 dollar bills it would work, but last I checked those were no longer legal tender.

If this is the only thing you can find wrong in the movie I guess you don't watch it very closely. :p

They're legal tender, but they haven't been in circulation for quite a long time.

Count me in.

According to my calculations, 2.4 million bills would take up about 95 cubic feet.
Those would have to be some big fricken suitcases.
