FRiend, you are screwing yourself. You should have said, "I just want 10 CUBIC feet of that".

What I meant was I wanted 10 square feet of that double-stacked pallet area. I should have qualified my statement. Given the stacks appear to be about 4 feet high, that'd be that'd be 8 feet less 12 inches for two pallets, so 2x5x7 would be 70 cubic feet. That'd be about right. If you consider that $10,000 is 6.868476 cubic inches, and there are 1728 cubic inches in a cubic foot, then 70 cubic feet equals 120,960 cubic inches. Divide that by 6.868476 and you get 17,610.89 (stacks of $10,000 in 70 cubic feet). That would be a tidy $176,108,936 (rounded to the nearest whole dollar).

My math was off - that’s not roughly 8 feet for two stacks, it’s roughly 7.5 feet less about a foot for the pallets - so, it would be 65 cubic feet, not 70. That would be about $163,529,726 rounded. Still works for me.
