You've got 5mins hide 10k in 100 dollar bills in your home. If searchers can't find it after 2 hours searching you can keep it. Where do you hide it? (lazysoci.al)

Some stupid ideas:

  • Roll the bills and stuff them into a condom. Shove it up my ass. It might feel uncomfortable for the next couple of hours, and a few more hours after that, but hey, 10k USD, right?

  • I have a bunk bed that is made out of hollow metal tubes. Roll the bills, insert into a plastic bag and drop it into one of the vertical tubes holding the bed up. It should fall all the way down, with no way to see it unless you already know it has fallen inside it.

  • Put the bills (flat) inside a plastic ziploc bag and shove it inside my PC. I'll insert it between my SSD, or underneath the motherboard.

Of those ideas, I quite like the first two. Easiest to do is the second one, so that's probably what I'd do.

I think you are underestimating how thick the roll would be, unless you trained your ass very hard you won't be able to shove it there. Second one sounds good!

I was actually thinking “It's just 100 × $100 bills, how thick can it be?” until I did the calculations just now. I found the value of 0.0043 in for the thickness of a 100 USD bill somewhere online and did the calculations.

(10 000 USD) × (1 bill / 100 USD) × (0.0043 in / 1 bill) 
= 0.430 in
≈ 1.0922 cm

I greatly underestimated the thickness of a stack of 100 USD bills. At just over a centimeter thick, I doubt I can even roll using the short side (for a smaller circumference).
