Another Big Number

The other day we were talking about how much a trillion was. I stumbled across this post by Lordy on Funtasticus during my reddit browse. This post contains an excellent graphical representation of how much, or rather how BIG $315 billion dollars is.

The size of a buck

A big stack of cash

A bigger stack of cash

A stack of cash the size of a man $360,000

9 Million dollars is the size of a car

900 million is the size of a big garage

15 Billion is the size of a big house

87 Billion is the size of a HUGE office building

166 Billion is absolutely enormous

191 Billion is the size of 2 big office buildings.  OK this is getting ridiculous

272 Billion is the size of a skyscraper

315 Billion looks like the Sears Tower.

Yep, it's a huge amount of money and if were all in one dollar bills, it would take up a HUGE amount of space. The point? Never, EVER, store you money outside next to your car and make sure it's all in 100's.

That almost makes you wish there were still $1000 bills around. I cant even imagine how much money that it. I mean I can and I can't at the same time.

Yeah, when did they stop making $1000 dollar bills. I think I remember seeing one of them as a kid. Then again maybe it was a $500 bill.

Glad i don't have that much money to worry about!!

It really makes you wonder though, where do people put all this money? Does it even exist anymore since most people just have numbers in a bank account?
