How many $50 bills would you eat to get the same amount in return?

Let's say there is a table that has a stack a foot high with $50 bills. Some new and crisp, some that have been circulated for a while. Basically a random mix. Your task (should you choose) is to take a bill off the top, put in your mouth, and swallow it. Whenever you feel like quitting, the imaginary host of this thing will give you however much money you just ate.
How many do you think you would put down?
eta: further clarification from page 2
-You may drink any beverage of your choosing
-You have a time limit of 1 hour
-No utensils, just your hands. If you want to tear them up into small portions or just crumble and eat whole, that's your choice.
-This is in one sitting- basically you can't get up and go to the bathroom, puke, take a breather, etc. You sit in a chair with the bucket of bills at your side.
-There is nothing else to aid you in this process other than your drink of choice. No boiling, no putting condiments on them, putting them in a sandwich, etc.

I could probably put down 20-30 of those bad boys.

Is puking an option and can I wash it down with beer? I would eat all that I could until I puked or shite my pants.

Technically, your payout would be 2X.

About the "none" answers...is it more so that you don't like the dirtiness of eating money or you just don't think the tradeoff is worth it?
I'm not poor enough to where I would NEED to do anything to get some money, but hell it's free money! I think I'd at least try to get 2 down then see how I feel from there.
Also for the "none"s....would you change your answer if it was $100 bills?

No, let's just take this at face value. Eat as many as you want until you dont' want to anymore. No trying to skirt the system.

Sure, you can have a beverage to help wash it down.

All of them, and I would shite in a bucket and launder the other fifties.
2x payout.

For anyone that might be curious, that's approximately $139,550.
Dollar bill is .0043" thick.
.0043 * 2791 = 12.0013"
2791 * 50 = 139,550
ETA: Let's round down to $120,000 to add for the space between bills.
Assuming no lonterm negative health effects, I'm eating as many as possible.

Eating a few (less than 5) which presumably can be done with minimal harm to one's insides is not going to be worth it to most people who aren't extremely hard up for cash. Eating an amount of $50 bills that would actually make a financial impact would almost certainly do as much internal harm to offset the gain. This is before factoring in potential germ/disease contraction from eating contaminated money. So, overall, this discussion feels rather dumb. If someone was giving you $1,000 for each piece of paper money consumed, I'm sure many more people would break out the forks and knives.
