Den of Thieves (2018)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Christian Gudegast
Starring: Gerard Butler, Pablo Schreiber, Jordan Bridges, Evan Jones
Ray Merrimen is killed by Big Nick and the robbery is apparently busted. Or so it seemed until Big Nick realizes that Donnie was the real mastermind the whole time, that he played Ray Merrimen and his crew like a flute, and got out scott free with his own crew with the $30 million. The film ends on Donnie working a bar in London asking a man about the Diamond trading shop across the street.
Ray Merrimen: We're cop killers now. (00:09:30)
Trivia: The $100 bill in the closing credits has the serial number DOT00002018. Which stands for Den of Thieves 2018, the year it was released. (02:24:00)
Question: Early on we see the crooks put wet cash in a microwave, presumably to dry it. Would that work? I just assume you'd end up with hot wet cash - I would have thought an oven or hairdryer or something would be a better bet.
Answer: There are videos of people drying money in microwaves, but it was a single layer of bills. But it can be tricky because, like wet clothes, it can catch on fire in the microwave if let in too long.

Answer: Considering how microwave ovens work, it seems it would. Microwaves work by bombarding whatever is inside with actual 'microwaves' which works to excite the water molecules within. Paper, and in the case of cash, cotton, wouldn't be affected on its own but the water inside would be. Ever had something wrapped in a paper towel when you microwave it? The cash is not metal, and the water content is what gets heated up inside and evaporated, so I believe it would work.
