By virtue of my husband ‘s position, the former
president (Bede) gave him$25,500,000.00 (Twenty-five
million five hundred thousand U.S. dollars)
cash in $ 100.00 bills stacked in a box when he got
the information that the military are planning to

I took the liberty of checking some sites about the weight of money

That box would weigh in the region of 561 pounds or 40 stone
