I don't know that storing your profits in a $40/month storage locker is
"safe."
When Walt's wife showed him the stack of money, he asked. "How much is
here?" to which she replied: "I have no earthly idea."
I've fiddled with computing how much was there. First, I have to compute how
many individual bills could be stacked in a pile six feet wide, four feet
deep, and four feet high. Here's what I've got so far:
Each bill is about 6x2 inches. The pile, then, works out to be 12 bills wide
and 24 bills deep. Hence one "layer" contains 288 bills.
Assuming a ream of 24# paper is 3" thick, a stack 4 foot high would yield 16
reams or 8,000 bills high. Eight thousand layers times 288 bills per layer
equals 2,304,000 individual bills. So, at a minimum, assuming all the bills
were one dollar bills, the stack would amount to over $2 million. If each
bill had a denomination of $100, the White family is sitting on $200 million
bucks, all in a neat pile in a storage locker.
