Of course, it would depend on the number of which denominations of each bill he would/could carry. Here are som facts from http://www.moneyfactory.gov/document.cfm/18/106 "The approximate weight of a currency note, regardless of denomination is (1) one gram. There are 454 grams in one (1) U.S. pound, therefore, there should be 454 notes in (1) one pound(Avoirdupois system). If the troy system were used, there are (12) twelve ounces in (1) one pound; therefore, if one note weighs approximately (1) one gram, then (1) troy pound contains approximately 375 notes." and "A stack of currency one mile high would contain over 14½ million notes." Quick calculations show that: ** for weight (US pounds), he would have about 132,158,590 pounds, or 66,079 tons, of one dollar bills. ** This would be a single stack of $1 bills 41,379 MILES HIGH. YOU figure out WHAT he would need! (Calcs are based on the numbers provided and on $1 bills.)

It would be quite dangerous to take that amount of money in cash, I don't have a clue on how much space it would occupy. The best would be to have a bank wire transfer or several cashier checks. Regards.
