It's far more than any of us can imagine.

It would be easier to carry if it were $1,000 bills, trust me on that one.
$1.6 Million in $100 bills weighs 43 pounds.
$16 Million in $1,000 bills weighs 43 pounds.
See! Much easier to carry.

Excellent demonstration! Really puts it in perspective. To a politician it’s like pulling out the wallet and laying down a 5 though. We’re so screwed.

Dennis Prager had a show recently where the concept of a trillion was translated to time.
How long is a trillion seconds?
Almost 32,000 years.

There are an estimated 100 billion galaxies in the universe. Multiply that by 10.

That thing? It’s worthless now. I believe that they have come out with the Z$100 BILLION note.

Good, I’ll still be able to carry it to the store to buy bread.

When it gets that bad the Fed will break the $5,000 and $10,000 bills. Of course, they will be redesigned with The One’s face, but oh well.
$80 Million in $5,000 bills 43 pounds.
$160 Million in $10,000 bills 43 pounds.

Dennis Prager had a show recently where the concept of a trillion was translated to time. How long is a trillion seconds? Almost 32,000 years. number of seconds in a year = 60 x 60 x 24 x 365 = 31,536,000
1,000,000,000,000 (trillion) divided by 31,536,000 = 31,709 (years)
Checks!

Money is information, sometimes represented by a gold analog, sometimes in decimals printed on paper, but mostly stored on disk drives. A trillion dollars in computer bits can be written as: $1110100011010100101001010001000000000000
