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.
