How deep into the Earth would one have to dig to bury a single stack of 100 dollar bills whose total value was 17 trillion dollars?

Clues:

1.) The thickness of all denominations of paper/rag US money is identical.
2.) The thickness of a 100 dollar bill is 0.0043 inches.
3.) Assume that there is no space between the 100 dollar bills.
4.) The maximum diameter of the Earth is 7,926.552786 miles.
