I think you’re limited to rail or ship because it’s too heavy to fly in one trip. Between the two, we’d have to know the origin and destination (I’m happy to accept it if you’re looking to send it to Virginia). Are you going to explain why you have such a specific amount in mind?

That is 1.6billion dollars worth. Powerball jackpot.

It would have to go by rail.

That’s over 1,700 tons, so I think @flutherother is right about going by rail.

That is a lot of paper. If possible ask for it in $100 bills. That will only weigh 35,247 pounds which is easily transportable in a tractor trailer. And it can be drop-shipped right to your home.

The average weight maximum for railroad cars is about 285,000 lbs. So you’re talking about half-dozen freight boxcars to hold your winnings.

Don’t forget about the security threat of such a transport. And then, having it stored in a home…
Is there something I should know? Can It not be wired to a bank account?

That way. You could lean on the bank’s security , as the money would be insured. Even then, you’d be wise to have personal security. :Mo money, mo problems.”

I take a couple thousand pounds of dollars of your hands. Oh wow that is a lot of dollars. Stop the money printing and stop inflation.
