And now you nerdsniped me into finding the value density of a dollar bill, which is roughly 1 gram, which makes a kilogram of dollars be worth some $1000 USD. Which still pales in comparison to the value of a kilogram of gold by at least a factor of 40-to-1
I had forgotten that the US dollars didn’t require being in 1 USD bills. Yeah, using 100 USD bills could make the value better than gold’s, as long as it sells below $100,000 USD per kilogram

So, i know the post says “us dollars” but if it was hundred dollar bills, then the best value goes back to the paper, doesn’t it?

…Never mind, the kilogram of gold hasn’t been below $100K since at least last year: apmex.com/gold-price/1-kg-gold…
