You guys thought 787 billion was a lot of money

How much is a trillion dollars? It is a number most of us have heard alot of lately, but never conceptualized. Here's a little visual help to get an idea:
$100
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.
$10,000
A packet of one hundred $100 bills is less than 1/2" thick and contains $10,000. Fits in your pocket easily and is more than enough for week or two of shamefully decadent fun.
$1 Million
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.
$100 Million
While a measly $1 million looked a little unimpressive, $100 million is a little more respectable. It fits neatly on a standard pallet...
$1 Billion
And $1 BILLION dollars... now we're really getting somewhere...
$1 Trillion
Next we'll look at ONE TRILLION dollars. This is that number we've been hearing about so much. What is a trillion dollars? Well, it's a million million. It's a thousand billion. It's a one followed by 12 zeros.
You ready for this? It's pretty surprising. Go ahead... Scroll down...
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. By the way, the use of trillions has seldom been used to describe wealth, but consider how often we've been hearing about that much debt!?!?
