Have you ever thought about it. What would 1 trillion dollars look like, layed out in front of you?

I mean, these numbers are tossed around like kids baseball or football.

So lets take a look at it and we will start with a $100 dollar bill. It's the largest U.S. denomination in general circulation.

Everyone has seen a $100 bill. 

They're also guaranteed to make friends wherever you go!

A packet of one hundred $100 bills is less than 1/2" thick and contains $10,000.

It's fits in your pocket easily and is more than enough for week of shamefully fun.

Believe it or not, this next little pile is $1 million dollars (100 packets of $10,000).

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

While a measly $1 million looked a little unimpressive, $100 million is a little more respectable.

It fits neatly on a standard pallet...

 

And $1 BILLION dollars... now we're  getting somewhere...

 

Next we'll look at ONE TRILLION dollars.

This is where our national debt is right now.

What is a trillion dollars anyway?

Well, it's a million million. It's a thousand billion. It's a one followed by 12 zeros ($1,000,000,000,000)

You ready?

Wait till you see this!!!

 

Scroll down...I give you $1 trillion dollars...

 

 

 

 

  

Almost there...

 

  

 

 

  (And notice those pallets are double stacked and the little man in the left hand corner.)

So the next time you hear someone toss around the phrase "trillion dollars"... that's what they're talking about.
