According to Memory Alpha Data weighs ~100kg.

[Unknownboi88]

In what denomination? or format?

1,000,000 in $5 in $10 in $20 in $50 in $100. in what country's currency? the US uses "paper" but Australia uses polypropylene polymer notes. (just imagine how much that would be in $1 coins)

And who has $1,000,000 in notes? no most would have it stored in a bank in digital format.
