We raise a million, or How much does a million dollars weigh?

Ah, a million dollars ... Well, who did not dream about it? Surely the idea of this amount has often occurred to even those who already have a couple of millions on their bank accounts. What can I say about those who do not have it. Today we are not going to teach you to earn this money, our article is not about this. Let's, as they say, visualize the dream. For example, do you know how much one million dollars weigh? And what bag should I make to take it away? Or do you need a car? Let's speculate ...

Secrets of banknotes

It is known that the American currency is considered the most protected in the world. So many unique elements can not boast of any banknote in the world. But few people know that American paper money has not only watermarks, roughness and other distinctive details. Even the weight of banknotes is one of the degrees of protection. The fact is that any genuine bill with the American president weighs exactly 1 gram. The nominal here does not matter. This knowledge reduces our research on the topic "How much does a million dollars weigh?" To simple mathematical calculations.

Million in notes

So, let's calculate the weight of one million "American presidents" in banknotes of different denominations.

The heaviest "lemon bucks" is obtained in banknotes for $ 1. It will weigh an entire ton:

1 million grams = 1,000 kg = 1 ton.

In two-dollar bills, the weight will be half a ton, or 500 kg. If you weigh "lemon" with $ 5 notes, you get 200 kg, and $ 10 a centner. In general, a lot.

Twenty-dollar bills a million "pull" half a centner, and "fifty dollars" - 20 kg.

And here's the most interesting: how much does a million dollars weigh in 100-dollar bills? If you weigh such an attractive amount in the "Franklin", only 10 kg will be released. Not so much, especially when you consider that all this wealth is placed in a normal medium size sports bag.

But it turns out you can get a much lighter one million. Not everyone knows that in the period 1928-1945, the US Federal Reserve issued even larger bills. You can pay them today.

So, if you have $ 500 banknotes, a million will "pull" only 2 kg, and thousandths and at all 1 kg. Bills of $ 5,000 "lemon bucks" will weigh only 200 grams, and if you take such a sum of paper for $ 10,000, will only 100 grams.

However, there is a small caveat here. To spend 1 000 000 such bills will be possible only in the territory of the country. The export of such banknotes for the territory of the United States is strictly prohibited.

Now prepare to be surprised even more. In America there is a $ 100,000 banknote! And this is the absolute truth. True, there are not many such bills. A total of 42,000 copies were printed, and they can be paid only within the walls of the Federal Reserve Bank, and only there. In this case, the notorious "lemon bucks" will consist of only 10 pieces of paper and weigh, respectively, as much as 10 grams.

Million coins

Well, with banknotes figured out. And now let's determine how much one million dollars weighs in metal coins.

The weight of the metal dollar is 8.1 gr. Accordingly, a million will weigh 8,100 kg or 8.1 tons.

Interestingly, "lemons" with coins of 50, 25 and 10 cents will weigh the same, 22 tons 680 kg. Although the weight of each of these coins is different:

  • 11.34 g;
  • 5.67 g;
  • 2,268 grams, respectively.

In five-cent coins, a million "pull" as much as 100 tons, because each weighs only 5 grams. And if you weigh such a coin in 1 ¢, you get as much as 250 tons, because each of them weighs 2.5 grams.

However, the heaviest "lemon bucks" will be obtained if we weigh it with monocoats in the period 1909-1982. The fact is that these coins were very heavy and weighed 3.11 g each. Accordingly, the amount we needed would weigh a record 311 tons.

And if in rubles?

If you prefer to keep savings in national currency, let's count how much one million rubles weigh. Russian millions, as it turned out, are not too heavy. If you collect this amount of five thousand, it will weigh only 204 grams, thousandths - 1 kg and 40 grams. Five-hundredth notes will also come out a bit - 1.9 kg, and "weaving" - 9.3 kg. Banknotes of 50 rubles. Million will weigh 19.4 kg, and ten-ruble notes - 94 kilograms.

We will not count in coins. Hardly anyone has a piggy bank of this size.

And now let's count how much one million dollars weighs in rubles. Given all of the above, it is easy to calculate that at the current rate the weight of a million bucks, expressed in rubles by five thousand bills, will amount to just over 12 kg.

That's all. Now you can independently calculate how much it weighs 100 million dollars or even a billion. However, than to calculate the weight of a phantom million, it is better, perhaps, to go to earn it.
