Yeah, that was clumsy, because you inflate the economy, a currency is depreciated.

It's approximately a 3 inch cube.

To be precise, a 7.83 cm³ cube. More portable, though a bit heavy at 9.27 kg.

1 Million Swiss Francs in the highest denomination (1000) weighs just 1.14 kg and is a stack of bills around 10 cm high. That is currently also around 1,261,037 USD

Re Dot Counter, cool work, but charging me $3 to download an image with dots on it is just silly.

That's 0.80€ per count and it's automatic. Still seems too expensive.

Not surprised that the Fed overspent a project by 50%.

I doubt this cost them 1.5M out of their real budget, lol. My guess is these are not legal tender in some way, e.g. worn-out bills that would otherwise be destroyed.

The fact that this is not obvious to everyone is a bit disturbing to be honest..
