A British billion is actually a million. So something got messed up in the translation, DJ was probably handling 8 million bucks..

Thank you for the clarification. I am unaware of any trunk that could hold 8,000,000,000 Dollars or Euros. Even in 1,000 unit bills, I believe that would be at least twenty cubic yards of paper.

Actor Don Johnson is caught up in a money-laundering probe by German authorities, who say they found the "Miami Vice" star in a car with a suitcase stuffed with $8 billion worth of share certificates, bonds and credit notes when he crossed the Swiss border, it was revealed yesterday. Regardless of whether it was 8 billion or not, it could have been. It wasn't in bills, but in certificates, bonds, and credit notes. Those can be written in very large denominations, so that it would be quite possible to carry it in a briefcase.
