I don't understand, the radius of this supposed "roll" Benjamins isn't constant...It would be in theory a "spiral". Who rolls money into perfect cylinders ( or as close to perfect as can be achieved with sheets of paper of constant length)? But i'm just being picky.

I'll dig out my calipers, I can only test the smaller ones, unless I go to the bank, they might let me play with a C note for awhile.
why bother with one note? Ask to play with a pile of notes and make a roll of the required size, then count the notes. Or even let them make you a roll behind the screen, so it is quite safe for them!
Problem is - are banks ever nice to people unless they already have their own pile of large notes deposited with them?

Saw a movie where the protagonist pulled out a roll of 100 dollar bills about 5 cm in diameter. I googled how thick is that bill, 100 of them stacked is 1 cm. So how much does a roll 5 cm in diameter represent? We can make the assumption the inner diameter was 1 cm, like a toilet roll.
