2 x 100 = 200
300 x 20 = 6000
950 x 10 = 9500
760 x 5 = 3800
total = $19,500
760 + 300 + 950 +2 = 2012 bills of us currency

That's a lot

using your figures and "no" one dollar bills!!!

I tried posting a photo of stacks of bills, but of course I fail at this stuff. Suffice to say, you can have an awfully large amount of cash in a fairly small amount of space. Even with mixed bills.

A dollar bill has a flat area of 6.14 inches × 2.61 inches = 16.0254 square inches. The bill is 0.0043 inches thin. If you really need to know the volume of the dollar bill, then the volume is: 6.14 inches × 2.61 inches × 0.0043 inches = 0.06890922 cubic inches. By 19,000 individual $1 bills: 1,309.27518 cubic inches. Divide by 12 to get cubic feet. 109.106265 Cubic feet.

For the number of bills you use: approximately 139 cubic inches. Converted to feet: 11 cubic feet.

A small safe like you buy at Walmart will not do, no matter how you divide the bills.

I’ve had 20k in hundreds, not that impressive in size. Reduce that to ones and the stack would be 100x larger, right? I still can’t see that being 11 cubic feet. I think there’s a problem in the math somewhere.

You're right. Volume is here:

By 19,000 bills:

https://www.bing.com/search?q= 0.06...-19&sk=&cvid=71B6CB11BB1043748D876D720329512A

Answer according to Bing: 0.7576824 cubic feet. That seems small for 19,000 bills. But okay. If Bing says so. :confused:

Any cash box that can’t hold nine of these and another one for tens....
....should be called a wallet.

Anybody who would keep 19 Gs in small bills is dumb enough to leave it lying around....
....oh, wait...:embarrassed2:

Your math is faulty...a cubic foot consists of 1728 cubic inches. 1309.27518 cubic inches = .75768 cubic feet. a space about 11 by 11 by 11 inches. My small fire safe is more than adequate to hold that much currency.

But it's not going to be all hundreds. It'll be a mix of bills. The largest possible volume being 19,000 bills.

i didnt say that-I'm just giving you an idea for starters based on the real world and i see now others have as well-no bad math needed.

I'm well aware of what you were trying to point out. There was a conversation about what size safe would accommodate that volume of money. It was prudent to calculate size to demonstrate what would actually be needed. I don't mind you contributing to the ideas, but please don't come back with retorts like this. It makes you seem petty.

sorry easy. my post does make it look like i was picking on you instead of in general to who should be investigating. i typed too fast without thinking. but i would be incensed as my money was stolen even if it was a trivial amount.

From experience... (1% 100s and 50s), (30% 20s), (50% 10s) and a PILE of 5s and 1s.
....
I round league payouts to the nearest $5 perhaps with some slight adjustment to make the total right. I could probably have put over 50% into 100s but I tended to go with more 20s because they are easier to deal with for the players. $2400 was a stack maybe two inches high.

I'll probably keep doing it elsewhere (in done here) as i dont see a blessed thing wrong with it..

Does the police report or the LO state there was forcible entry into the home? Or where this money was kept?

If dude went so far as to kick down his own door ...he's an arch criminal.

Honestly, all we're doing is speculating at this point. Until there is something official here, all we can do is chase after the wind.

With all the turds you've dropped in this thread, I find you about the last one to criticize others' input.

No offense but that's the wrong question. The question should be how big does the safe need to be to prevent someone from stealing the safe. I have documents which would be a pain in the ass to replace in a small fireproof safe but I would never keep a significant amount of cash in it.

If it's true the son's girlfriend had stolen from him before why would he keep that much cash in the house?
