This is a long running fraud trial and the reports say the prosecutor has made some interesting and in my opinion incorrect claims. He says 148.8 million Turkish Lira in 100 Lira notes would weigh 135,000 kilos and be 300 times the height of Nelson's Column.

148.8 million Lira would be 1.48 million 100 Lira notes. For 1.48 million notes to weigh 135,000 kilos each would have to weigh 90 gm or approximately 4 oz. Equally for 1.48 million notes to be as tall as 300 Nelson's Column (300 x 51.6 metres) each note would have to be 10 cm thick. I think somebody has miscalculated but nobody seems to have challenged the claims!
