What a trillion dollars looks like

edited April 2013 in Off-Topic
Reposting this from a M* discussion board for your amusement. Makes a million look like not so much.

  • Nice visual. I remember in grade school the teacher saying there were about 100 billion stars in our galaxy. Not sure she was right but it seemed like such a huge, uncountable number. Now 100 billion doesn't seem such a large number to be talking about compared to say, a trillion or more.
  • I guess it's time to reduce the size of a $100 bill to postage stamp size. Or what does this look like in bitcoins? Maybe the Fed can shuffle those instead. Or wait, maybe they already do.

    No, not trying to be dumb here just thinking how unimportant the physical size of money is now days (not the relative amount).
