SUMMARY
A stack of 1 million 1-dollar bills reaches a height of approximately 33 yards. This calculation is based on the fact that there are 233 new 1-dollar bills per inch. To determine the total height, the total number of bills (1,000,000) is divided by the number of bills per inch (233), resulting in a height of about 4,291.4 inches. Converting inches to yards by dividing by 36 yields the final height of approximately 33 yards.
