Appropriate username buddy.

bonkers · 05-11-2009 03:56AM

no

you moderate taxation.

right back at you.

this is a big question. and deserves your consideration.

KungPao · 05-11-2009 03:57AM

Good question, I was just thinking this.

My conclusion is:

Yes.

minidazzler · 05-11-2009 03:58AM

It would fit once the appropriate tax is taken out. How did you come about this money?

Turtwig · 05-11-2009 03:59AM

no

They'd fit alright but I don't think it would be healthy.

starbelgrade · 05-11-2009 04:00AM

The suspension would be f*cked.

volume of a pound * 1m (<, >, = ) volume of a VW golf boot

I thought this was gonna have a link to some kerazy news article about an abandoned car that was after being used to rob slot machines years ago.

You are not taking gaps when the money is stacked next to each other into account. ou need Volume of the pound and air around it.

Ahh fck it...

Volume of coin ~ 500 mm^3
1 million coins ~ 500 mm x 1,000,000 = 500,000,000 mm^3

1 mm^3 = 0.000000001 m^3
1 million coins ~ .5 m^3

They'd fit no problem.
(I think??)
Suspension wise..
Anyone care to estimate density:p

Edit : nm density ~ 19000 kg / m^3
Can it handle that?

Schism · 05-11-2009 04:09AM

Depends, what else is in the boot? Golf clubs? Weeks shopping?

congo_90 · 05-11-2009 04:43AM

By the sounds of it he's only picking the car now.

Go for a Ford Transit OP.

No.
Irish pound coin: 31.1 mm diameter.
Not sure of the edge thickness but if you go with 2.5mm, it's:

.0311 *.0311 * .0025 * 1000000 m^3 = 2.418025m^3. (with air between coins ie not melted down etc).

1000 litres in a cubic metre so that translates into 2418.025 litres.

A VW golf estate's boot space is no more than 1550 litres according to this.

So no.

So you'd need 2 VW Golfs then. Or use the back seats.

I chose a 50mm diameter coin and a thickness of 5mm and I got less than 1 m^3
where'd i go wrong?:(

Me thinks me sees a mistake in yours

1mm^3 =/= .001m^3

tech77 · 05-11-2009 05:19AM

1000000 irish pound coins would weigh 10000 kgs (10 tonnes).
So the weight is the more important issue tbh.
20 cars maybe, i dunno?

Surely weight is only an issue if you intend to drive off with the cargo?

Great to see AH dealing with serious issues these days.
