Refs: | sankoku 1: 札「=紙幣」をかさねて束にしたもの 2: 多額のお金。「ーを積む・ーが舞う」 Cherry-picked: https://context.reverso.net/translation/japanese-english/札束 そこには札束がいくつも入っていた。 There were bundles and bundles of cash. This concept is what 札束 seems to refer to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency_strap Bundling money together with a simple elastic or paper device is as old as paper currency itself. However, measured and standardized straps are a relatively new idea. https://www.frbservices.org/resources/financial-services/cash/depositing-ordering/visual-reference-guide.html |

Comments: | Image search. Not a roll. (at least not principally) sankoku says かさねて束にした (stacked up and wrapped?). While I guess this might be applied to a rubber-banded roll of bills, this is not the primary meaning, and it would be covered under [2] in any case. "bundle of cash" will handle a bankroll as well. If you wanted to translate "roll of hundred dollar bills" into Japanese, I don't think this term would do it. Stab-in-the-dark, I google image-searched 札束 ロール... Lots of images came back. The American money is in rolls, the Japanese money is still in stacks ;) Perhaps culturally the Japanese don't roll their bills? ロール 万円札 returns a couple of images from a stock photography site, but otherwise all still flat. |
