What Does One Trillion Dollars Look Like?

A reminder of what's going on. Cubic cash rules, until it won't buy a loaf of bread at least.

clipped from www.pagetutor.com We'll start with a $100 dollar bill. Currently the largest U.S. denomination in general circulation. A packet of one hundred $100 bills is less than 1/2" thick and contains $10,000 this next little pile is $1 million dollars (100 packets of $10,000) $100 million is a little more respectable. It fits neatly on a standard pallet... And $1 BILLION dollars... now we're really getting somewhere... Next we'll look at ONE TRILLION dollars. This is that number we've been hearing about so much. What is a trillion dollars? Well, it's a million million. It's a thousand billion. It's a one followed by 12 zeros. (And notice those pallets are double stacked.) So the next time you hear someone toss around the phrase "trillion dollars"... that's what they're talking about.
