Based on the U.S. Treasury's official bill dimensions: 6.14×2.61 inches, 0.0043 inches thick, uniform across every denomination. Cross-checked against a commonly cited reference figure before publishing: $1,000,000 in $1 bills works out to about 358 feet here, matching published estimates (taller than the Statue of Liberty at 305 feet).
