Insane.
Wow. When you see that, you grasp the notion that they might well become worthless slips of smelly green paper.
And I'm worried how I'm going to pay my property taxes. That just makes me want to throw up.
One that seems to make it easier to understand million vs billion is 'if you gave your wife/girlfriend $19,231 a week to spend on a shopping trip with a max of a million dollars she would be back in a year. If you gave her a billion dollars for a shopping trip she would not come back in a thousand years.'
Paraphrasing the above 'if you gave your government $19,230,769 a week to spend with a max of a billion dollars they want more in a year. If you gave them $19 billion a week to spend with a max of trillion they'd again be back in year'.

One pallet should suffice for me......
if 10 grand is a 1/2 inch tall stack of 100 dollar bills.....
=1e12/1e4/2/12/5280 is a trillion dollar stack in miles....
plug that into excel and smile at the imaginary stack formed in your mind.

It would be much easier just to print a thousand Billion dollar bills.

We should rename a billion dollars. Giga dollars sounds more impressive.

10.7T in single dollar bills gets to the moon, back, and nearly there again.
Putting a new meaning to you can go further on Aussie dollars.

Given that our dollar (coin) is 0.080" versus 0.008" for your buck,
Can get there and back 30-35 times depending on exchange rate using our coinage.
