How thick is an American Dollar bill?
Answer:
According to the U.S. Treasury .0043 inches. A stack a mile high will give you over 14 million bills.
The .0043 inches may be the thickness of the paper it is printed on, however, I measured a representative sample of brand new banded stacks of $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100 bills, and found the stacks were consistently .75 inches, plus or minus .02 inches. Therefore, the thickness of the ink (intaglio printing is used) must account for the additional .0032 inches.
So, a stack 1 mile high, which equals 5,280 feet, which equals 63360 inches. Taking 63350, and dividing it by .0075 equals $8,448,000.00
