In 20 dollar bills, it weighs about 1 and 1/2 tons. It reminds me of the 1972 Laguna Nigel job, by the Akron, Ohio gang, except this group got away with about 3 times as much.

“How big is $30 mil and how much does it weigh?”

At least 660 pounds, if it is in all hundred dollar bills. It would take up about 12 cubic feet of space. For example, 3x2x2 feet. It could be easily stacked and carried on one standard wooden pallet.

A million dollars in hundreds will fit in a standard backpack and weigh around 22 pounds.

Smaller denominations of bills would be larger and heavier for the same amounts, of course. At one gram each, all American bills are approximately the same weight and size.
