    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).
