Didn't see anything on Snopes about it.. the story just sounds fishy.. I'm sure a matress with a million dollars in it weighs alot more than a traditional mattress.
Makes me wonder, how was she stuffing the mattress with all this money?? Must have had an opening for her to keep shoving it in. Didn't they notice this when they dragged this lumpy, heavier than usual mattress out?
Makes you wonder if they didn't grab the money before they threw it out and now just trying to act innocent.
Doing some looking around and I hope she used big bills to cut down on the weight.. according to a piece I read, a dollar bill weighs roughly 1 gram.. doing the math, a million dollar bills weighs in at roughly 1.1 tons.. even using all $100 bills, which seems unlikely, that's still a heavy mattress.
Keeping in mind that a US ton is 2000 pounds, we can conclude that a million dollars would weigh in at roughly 1.1 US tons.
If you opted for $100 bills, we’d be talking about 10 kg/million (just a bit over 22 pounds), which is nowhere near a ton (US, metric or otherwise).
Am I reading this correctly? If she had one dollar bills that would be 1.1 US tons. But if she had $100.00 bills it would be only 22 pounds?
I guess I can see not to notice 22 pounds difference in the mattress if the mattress was at least a full or larger, since they are kinda heavy to start with.
