So I was wondering if given the chance, would you take your weight in cash, or would take it in change?

Uh, I’ll take the cash.

1. if it’s my “weight in cash”, it’ll be more moolah.
2. if it’s the amount of my weight in cash, $130 in 10s and 20s will fit in my wallet much easier than $130 in quarters and nickels.

I interpret the question as 130 lbs. in either cash or change. In that case, you would definitely want the cash in whatever denomination because the change, weighing more and less in value, would give you much less money. Uh – and I’m gonna go eat some donuts for breakfast just in case that issue comes up today!

if you dont feel like carrying round a bag of change, surely the bag of cash would weigh exacltly the same so you would still have the hassle of the weight to carry round with you.
I also would take the cash as it would be worth more money then spend alot of it on buying a massive suitcase to carry it round with me if i wasnt allowed to stash it anywhere.

@bongo Heck, with that amount of dough, I’d hire a big, hunky dude to carry it about for me!

I would want it in cash. Notes to be specific :D.

Wait, it’s all yours until you die? So you can’t spend it? Must have been a weird dream.

I’d want my bodyweight in £50 notes.

I’d take it in paper and convert it to gold bullion at the earliest opportunity. Your weight in dollar bills is going to have a higher monetary value than your weight in dollar coins.

da cash!

Cash, of course. Coins weigh more than paper bills so you would get more money out of the bills regardless, and you would be guaranteed at least $1 denominations instead of the possibility of near worthless pennies.

Seek, great answer. you thought this out. i am impressed. way to go.

cash duh. paper is very light. change is very heavy. :p

My weight in cash. A bill weighs approximately 1g. I weigh 129,273.825 grams. My weight in McKinleys comes to $64,636,500, without accounting for inflation. My weight in $100,000 notes comes to $12,927,382,500, again, without accounting for inflation.
The latter comes to $209,423,596,500 once I consider inflation.

Definitely the cash. Like everyone else said, you’d get more money by having cash than you would change.

In my dreams, your check is good. I’ll take that.

Isn’t change a kind of cash?

@Fyrius kind of but they are differientiatied between on bank deposit slips for businesses and such so….maybe not? i’ll get to the bottom of it

I had the impression change is the money you get back when you pay someone too much. Like you could pay for a $10,- item with a $100,- bill and get nine $10,- bills as change.

@Fyrius The is one meaning of change. Change is also used to denote coinage as opposed to paper money which is sometimes called cash.

I embrace change. I love cash.

Well, I like coins.
I’d probably get less money that way, assuming there are no places on earth where the bank note equivalent in weight of one coin is worth less than the coin. But on the other hand, if you have a heckload of coins, you can store them in a treasure chest.
With bank notes that would be weird. You’d need a black suitcase for those, and you’d have to tie them together into packages and stack them neatly.

@Fyrius The more conspicuous sorts of criminals have been known to use unpainted aluminum suitcases, as well.

Duly noted.

Fact from fiction, truth from fiction. Show me the fetta. Regarless of the coin weighing more it it is all pennies and nickels dollars, I think, would still beat it. Now if I knew it was silver dollars and hald dollars vs $1 dollar bills I might go for coin, but I would gamble that some of the paper would be $5s, $10s, and spackles with $20s, $50s and C notes.
