Nick ... your thread yesterday about Congress spending Trillions of dollars prompted me to do some research and sit down at the calculator. I learned that:
A $100 bill measures 6.14" long X 2.61" wide X .0043" thick
It takes 490 $100 bills to weigh 1 pound
There are 10,319 $100 bills ($1,031,920) stretched end to end in 1 mile
$1 million dollars in $100 bills stretched end to end is 97/100ths of a mile long
$1 million dollars in $100 bills weighs 20.41 lbs.
$1 BILLION dollars in $100 bills stretched end to end is 969 miles long
$1 BILLION dollars in $100 bills would weigh 20,410 lbs
$1 TRILLION dollars in $100 bills stretched end to end is 96,906,566 miles long
$1 TRILLION dollars in $100 bills would weigh 20,410,000 lbs and it would fill 510 eighteen wheel truckloads
$1 TRILLION dollars in $100 bills stretched end to end would go around the Earth at the equator 8.2 times!
(The Earth's circumference is 24,892 miles at the equator)
Keep in mind that the current programs President Obama has signed or is pushing now total 4 plus Trillions.
4 TRILLION dollars in $100 bills stretched end to end is 3,876,162,626 miles long and weighs 81,632.653 lbs. It would require 2,041 eighteen wheel trucks, each carrying 40,000 lbs, to carry all of the money
Even my ex-wife couldn't spend a trillion.
