Title: What does one trillion dollars look like?

What does one trillion dollars look like?

         $100. We'll start with a hundred dollar

          bill. Currently the largest U.S. denomination in general circulation.

          Most everyone has seen them, slightly fewer have owned them. Guaranteed

          to make friends wherever they go.

         $10,000. A packet of one hundred hundred

          dollar bills is less than 1/2" thick and contains ten thousand

          dollars. Fits in your pocket easily and is more than enough for a week

          or two of shamefully decadent fun.

         $1,000,000. Believe it or not, this next

          little pile is a million dollars (100 packets of $10,000). You could

          stuff that into a grocery bag and walk around with it.

         $100,000,000. While a measly 1 million

          dollars looked a little unimpressive, 100 million dollars is a little

          more respectable. It fits neatly on a standard pallet...

         $1,000,000,000. A BILLION dollars...

          now we're really getting somewhere...

            $1,000,000,000,000. A 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. And notice

            that those pallets are double-stacked. So the next time you hear someone

            toss around the phrase "trillion dollars"... this is what

            they're talking about.
