No way. The thickness of a dollar bill is 0.0043 inches. The width is 6.14 inches, and the height is 2.61 inches.
Therefore the volume of 1 million dollar bills is: Thickness x Width x Height x 1,000,000.
= 0.0043 inches x 6.14 inches x 2.61 inches x 1,000,000
= 68,909.22 inches^3 (that is inches cubed volume)
Let's say a suitcase is about 40 inches x 30 inches x 12 inches (and that's being generous). That will hold a volume of 14,400 inches^3. So it would take almost 5 suitcases to hold all those bills. Also, that calculation was done assuming the bills will fit neatly inside the suitcase with no room to spare, but in reality, you would have some pockets of air between them. So to answer your question, it would take more than one average size suitcase to hold 1 million one-dollar bills.
