    Stack 'Em UP!!

    $1,000 bills x 1000 = $1Million = 4.3 inches

    $1,000 bills x 1 million = $1 Billion = 358 feet

    $1,000 bills x 1 billion = $1 Trillion = 67.87 MILES HIGH!

  3. $100 trillion fits in my wallet. Much easier to carry around than all your pallets of American paper.



    Just got my Zimbabwe banknote in the mail the other day :)

  4. Another way to look at a trillion dollars.

    We are in the calender year 2009..if you spent $1 million dollars per day for 2009 years you still would not have spent 1 trillion dollars.

  8. You must be doing well then...official exchange rate today is 132 zimbabwe dollars to the USD right now. So looks like you are close to trillionaire status by US standards =D

    Really? Saw a few months ago where a reporter was doing a story on Zimbabwe's inflation.... went to a Quick-ie Mart and bought 2 cans of beans and 1 can of soup... cost $1Billion ZDollars...

    Maybe they've lopped half dozen zeros off since then... ??
