Factual error: O'Brien ask the uniformed officers to "push back the perimeter" because it's too small. When a crime scene perimeter is established you can always shrink but never enlarge a perimeter because everything outside of it has all ready contaminated by other people, officers, press, etc. (00:18:45)
Continuity mistake: At the beginning armored truck scene. Marcus blows the armored car with shape charges. After the doors pop Marcus' shotgun is flashed with a drum style magazine. However, when Marcus squares off in the next scene with police he has a mag style.
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.
