One gram of X Dollar notes is worth X Dollar, as a Dollar note weighs one gram.
One gram of gold is somewhere close to 150 Dollar.
So with 100 Dollar or smaller notes I would take the gold, but there are also 500, 1000, 5000, and 10000 Dollar notes…

First off, it feels fully wrong to hear about “US notes” instead of bills. I know they are notes, but it feels like hearing someone say exclamation mark instead of point or vice versa. One feels natural to some people, the other for others. Just feels so weird.
Also, depending on how you’re obtaining these 500kg of US notes, anything above 100 dollar bills is basically just for bank transfers and you’ll have a helluva time using it for anything if it wasn’t obtained legally. They’re tracked pretty well. The vast majority of Americans don’t even know they exist, I’d say, and have surely never seen one.

Yep. They discontinued the larger denominations because they were primarily used for corruption, money laundering, tax evasion, etc. Guess why Trump wants to introduce a new 250 Dollar bill? And with his own face on it? The face of corruption on the bill of corruption.
