I work for an airline and thought you'd like this. The other day, we loaded (for weight and balance purposes), $21,000,000 in $20's in the rear cargo hold, and $9,000,000 in the forward cargo hold in clear plastic bags. They were on their way to Seattle to the Federal Reserve for destruction I'm assuming. The notes looked pretty circulated. Here is a picture of the forward cargo hold.
I'm not a note collector so these didn't interest me at all

I've never heard tell of anybody not being interested in $30,000,000.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? How about a "DB Cooper" caper with a parachute?

You know you're a coin collector when... The only thing you find interesting about $30,000,000 dollars is whether or not you can bag star notes and key dates :-)

Point of curiosity - what kind of security did they have during the loading process?

Exactly - What kind of security is around 30 million in cash? This was a commercial flight? Was the security on the flight as well? Can't you get into the cargo area from the flight deck? Sorry - A picture like that prompts alot of questions.
