The pallets from above are two deep.
 
Those were 463L logistics pallets—the kind we load on acft for moving stuff—and what the Army steals from the USAF to makes floors in tentsand roofs on all manner of things (ha ha)! They only cost about $5k each...

The 463L is 88”x96” and will hold 4x of the wooden “pallets” we often refer to. They can be stacked 2x high for 8x per pallet pretty easy depending on the cargo. Max load weight is 10k.

Your logistics trivia for the day...

I know they'll hold at least 14k...at least from FT Bragg to Hurlburt Field.

Thank you for the show-and-tell, Neil. Now the more important question; who do you want the irs to steal this money from?

Seems like fake news to me. The Obama admin was able to fit $100 billion nicely on 4 pallets delivered to the Iranians.
Sending dollars would have been illegal. They skirted the law by sending Swiss Franks, and there is indeed a 1000 CHF. Hence less than 1/10th of us currency...
 
After sobering up at work I came home and now 3 beers in I looked up the length of the dollar bill. It's 6.14 inches long. Rounding down to six inches ( which I used to confirm my Google search. Yeah the woman asked WTF I was doing with a dollar bill and my dick) his math is pretty good.


My previous cartoons...... not so much.
Now get back to the midget mud wrasslin.
 
Sorry for crapping on black science man... some think he is a scientist...

I actually also crap on Carl Sagan. He was a pretty good planetary scientist, but as soon as he became famous, he became a communist anti-nuke, anti-Reagan, Anti-American protester... and a founding beacon of the green movement. In other words... a worthless Communist.

I like Stephen Hawking better. He did a lot for the advancement of wheelchairs and did more for voice synthesis than anyone since Peter Frampton.

Neil Degrasse-Tyson is a complete fraud and, really, an idea-stealing peckerhead. I can't think of a single actual scientific achievement, breakthrough, contribution or advancement he was involved in, other than being an EEOC wonder at the NY planetarium or some other commie tourist attraction. At least Brian Greene was willing to put his reputation on the line for String-Religion. Neil just waited to be promoted as the only black science man in reach.
