The approximate weight of a currency note, regardless of denomination is (1) one gram. There are 454 grams in one (1) U.S. pound, therefore, there should be 454 notes in (1) one pound(Avoirdupois system). If the troy system were used, there are (12) twelve ounces in (1) one pound; therefore, if one note weighs approximately (1) one gram, then (1) troy pound contains approximately 375 notes.Most of the other sites I found listed the size in inches with 4 or 5 decimal places of "accuracy" so I'm really hoping to find the actual size on the government site when I wake up (there's always measuring one myself, but that's not as authoritative as the bureau).
Bank Notes
After Bruce's comment about creating a bumper sticker displaying a $50 note as 155mm x 65mm, I decided to poke around and fine an official link for that.
Unfortunately, the bureau site is acting strangely at the moment so I couldn't find the dimensions, but I did find a note about the weight which I found amusing in that watching a train wreck kind of way.
