AnswerUnit of measurement used by the BEP. A strap is 100 notes banded together, forty straps make a brick.

A brick of bills in the USA is ten straps, not forty straps.

Both answers could be considered correct. The BEP defines a brick thusly: The units of 100 notes are banded and packaged into "bricks" containing 40 units; each "brick" contains 4,000 notes.

However, most paper money collectors, myself included, will refer to a shrink-wrapped package of 1,000 notes as a "brick", as that is how they are packaged for delivery to the public.
