Whenever you get one of those pesky letters that promise a Trunk Full Of Money here are some fun facts that you can play with . According to 419 letters, the security vaults of dozens of African storage facilities are jammed with boxes packaged with millions of US dollars. The Average amount stated is around 25,000,000 USD. Assuming that the Dollars have all been changed into $100 bills, $25,000,000 equals 250,000 - $100 bills. A pound of US currency notes, regardless of denomination, contains 454 bills ( Avoir du Poids system). Troy system is 375 bill/lb. That runs to a little over 550 pounds of money. Provided we're speaking of $100 bills, which are not that handy in 3rd orld countries. The Standard denomination is $20. Using the above calculation for $20 bills, we would be looking at 1,250,000 pieces of currency at close to 2,800 lbs. or over 1-1/2 tons of money. American currency is 2.61 inches wide x 6.14 inches long x .0043 inches thick. A Standard box is 12x12x16. Packed in the mot efficient manner possible, one would need at least 330 boxes to house $25,000,000. The Next time you receive a 419 letter , asking for help in retrieving vaulted currency, you will know what questions to ask. * Subnote* Talk about Hernia City moving these things OUCH These workers must be Supermen. |
