Hello.
A million dollars in $100 bills weighs around 20 to 23 pounds.
If the bills were in a single stack, estimates put the stack at
approximately 40 inches (3.3 feet) to 5 feet high. Obviously, if the
bills are in multiple stacks, you'd need to divide appropriately.
From CBS News:
" One million bucks in $100 bills weighs over 23 pounds and would
reach 3 feet, four inches high. "

"a million dollars in $100 bills stands five feet high and weighs over
twenty two pounds."
