Do you also have 9 billion forints in cash at home? It fits surprisingly small space!

The investigation revealed that Miklós Seszták may have kept 9 billion HUF in cash at home, sparking curiosity about the physical space required for such an amount. A standard bundle of 100 banknotes is 1.2 cm high, equating to 2 million HUF in 20,000 HUF notes. Stacking these would create a cash mountain of 54 meters for 9 billion HUF. Practically, this could fit in a space of 154 cm by 70 cm and 54 cm high, similar to an average kitchen table. The Hungarian National Bank reports a significant circulation of 20,000 HUF notes, raising questions about the existence of such cash. Alternatives like gold or securities could also represent this value more compactly, though cash remains practical for certain transactions.
