In our challenge, Suitcase Millions, a radio station offered a contest saying that the contestant may have one million dollars from the 6th National Regional Local Bank. The catch: the contestant has to carry the money in all ONE DOLLAR BILLS in one suitcase. Is it possible? Explain your findings. If it isn't possible (which we have now discovered it isn't), what is the lowest denomination of money that the contestant could get in the suitcase and carry it? How much would it weigh?
[Note: 1 bill weighs 1 gram. There are approximately 454 grams in one pound.]
[Note: 20 bills = .7 oz.]
