Plot hole: After the heist and the team arrives at the garbage dump, Silverback (the phone relay operator) calls Merriman to let him know that Horsepower (the deliveryman) has been burned. Silverback then asks Merriman where he needs to go. Merriman decides to cut him loose and ends the call. Silverback subsequently screams FUC%! Silverback is part of the 'real' crew and would have known all along that the real heist occurred when they left Merriman a bag of shredded cash. (01:59:19 - 01:59:55)

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.
