One gram of X Dollar notes is worth X Dollar, as a Dollar note weighs one gram.
One gram of gold is somewhere close to 150 Dollar.
So with 100 Dollar or smaller notes I would take the gold, but there are also 500, 1000, 5000, and 10000 Dollar notes...
First off, it feels fully wrong to hear about "US notes" instead of bills. I know they are notes, but it feels like hearing someone say exclamation mark instead of point or vice versa. One feels natural to some people, the other for others. Just feels so weird.
Also, depending on how you're obtaining these 500kg of US notes, anything above 100 dollar bills is basically just for bank transfers and you'll have a helluva time using it for anything if it wasn't obtained legally. They're tracked pretty well. The vast majority of Americans don't even know they exist, I'd say, and have surely never seen one.
ETA: I'm mistaken! Apparently those larger bills were legal tender, just rare. It's the 100k gold certificate that was only for bank transfers

If you get a big pile of money you have to pay taxes on it immediately and then you only get interest on what is left over afterward. If get a big pile of gold you don't pay taxes until you sell it, and in the meantime you benefit from any increase in value since then.
Gold
I take the gold. I like shiny gold and dollar bills would look stupid in my hoard.
Yeah, but the volume of 500kg of monies is like 16× larger!!
Then again ... 500kg of gold is just under 26 litres which would mean I can finally cast my favourite Bad Dragon product in solid gold.
What's the conversion to cocaine?
(gold / 32 bald eagles + dollars + 9) / 7 hamburgers + chipmunks^1.111505 x 44 = cocaine
