    why not just figure 4" rounds........................733.757962 rounds per cord.

    this allows for a little airspace.

    With that much $$$ a person could burn a couple 1/2 inch $10,000 stacks and not flinch. It looks like various paper products range from 7200 - 7900 BTU/pound. If there are 3.32 mil $100 bills in a cord. Each bill weighs about a gram. The total converts out to 7076ish lbs.

    53, 423 ,800 BTU's per cord of paper money.
