Is CASH Bulletproof? *TEST*

Published on February 16, 2025
Duration: 1:35

This video tests the bulletproof capabilities of stacks of US currency against various calibers. It demonstrates that even large denominations of cash offer limited protection, with higher-powered rounds like 50 BMG easily penetrating significant amounts of money. The test highlights the projectile energy transfer and penetration characteristics of different ammunition types through a non-standard medium.

Quick Summary

This test demonstrates that US currency offers very limited ballistic protection. While lower calibers like .380 ACP and 9mm penetrated less cash, .223 Remington penetrated $70,000, and a 50 BMG round easily went through $110,000, highlighting the ineffectiveness of cash as body armor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can stacks of US currency stop bullets?

This test indicates that while cash can stop very low-powered rounds or fragments, it offers minimal ballistic protection. Higher-powered rounds like .223 Remington and .308 Winchester easily penetrate significant amounts of money, and a powerful 50 BMG round completely obliterates stacks of cash.

What calibers were tested against cash?

The test included .380 ACP, 9mm Luger, .223 Remington, .308 Winchester, and the extremely powerful 50 BMG. Lower calibers like .380 ACP and 9mm penetrated less cash than the rifle calibers, with 50 BMG showing the most destructive penetration.

How much cash did a 50 BMG round penetrate?

A 50 BMG round, fired from a Kakuna Firearms Raptor 50, penetrated approximately $110,000 in cash. The immense energy of the 50 BMG round caused significant damage and keyholing to the money stack.

What was the penetration depth for .223 Remington ammunition?

.223 Remington ammunition, fired from a CMMG Dissent, was able to penetrate $70,000 in cash during the test. This demonstrates the significant penetration power of common rifle rounds through currency.
