What does one TRILLION dollars look like?
All this talk about “stimulus packages” and “bailouts”…
A billion dollars…
A hundred billion dollars…
Eight hundred billion dollars…
One TRILLION dollars…
What does that look like? I mean, these various numbers are tossed around like dog treats. The following graphics will give you a sense of exactly what a trillion dollars looks like.
We’ll start with a $100 dollar bill. Currently the largest U.S. denomination in general circulation. Most everyone has seen them, slightly fewer have owned them. Guaranteed to make friends wherever they go.
Are you ready for this? It’s pretty surprising. Go ahead…
Ladies and gentlemen…
I give you $1 trillion dollars…
(And notice those pallets are double stacked.)
So.. the next time you hear someone toss around the phrase “trillion dollars”… that’s what they’re talking about.
Kind of gives you the heebie jeebies a little, doesn’t it?
(I don’t ever post emails I receive, especially email forwards, but this one I thought was not only post-worthy, but educational for the kids as well.)
