In Egypt, many things are paid for in cash, including homes. Almost 5 years ago, I had to go to the bank and take out approx 250000 Egyptian Pounds in 100 pound notes batched up in 10000 Egy Pound wodges (ie 100 bills per pack - not that big to be honest!). I felt like 'Robbadabank' but in reality they didn't even fill up a normal-sized sports holdall.
Given each bill is approx the same size as a dollar bill - imagine that as dollars instead, so it isn't that impossible to imagine really.
