Carrying Currency

The Friday File: Transporting $10 million is easiest in 1,000 franc Swiss banknotes. They would weigh 25 lbs and fit in one briefcase. Using enough 500 euro banknotes would weigh 45 lbs and fit in two briefcases. Using US $100 bills would require eight briefcases and weigh 220 lbs. Using 100 bolivar Venezuelan banknotes might be a mistake. The currency would weigh 333 tons and require 14 semis, no joke!
