In Kenya Shillings: 200M is 200,000,000 bob or 200,000 in the largest available denomination (1k notes). Let's assume the 1k note is 1 gram. we have 200kgs of Paper to throw into a car.
In USD: 2m Dollars is 2,000,000 dollars. The largest available denomination is 100 dollars and so we have 20,000 notes. if each is gram... we have 20kgs of paper to put in a brief case. A Jerrycan of water is 18kgs. A Mtungi ya LPG is 20kg!!
I see you rushed to google to search weights. 100 dollar bill = 1 gram in total $1M would weigh about 10KGs or 20Pounds 1Pound = .45 Kilos
10KGs is your average shopping bag when you buy 2KG Jogoo, 2KG EXE, 2KG Mumias Bag, Salt, Mafuta 2KG rice.
The dude said the money was in briefcase size matters no carrying it around. For a standard briefcase with dimensions of 18"x25"x4 you can fit about $2.4m
