However, here are some options you could use, depending on the context:
Formal:
* A wad of banknotes
* A stack of banknotes
* A bundle of banknotes
* A sheaf of banknotes
Informal:
* A pile of cash
* A wad of dough
* A stack of bills
* A fistful of money
You could also use a collection of banknotes or a quantity of banknotes if you need something more neutral.
Ultimately, the best option will depend on the specific situation and the tone you want to convey.
