Sorry but your graphic is off a bit. You say a pallet load of green is one million. I counted the rows and columns in the "trillion" dollar stack and came up with fifty across by one hundred front to back, stacked two pallets deep, or 10,000. At one million per pallet that's $10,000,000,000 (ten billion) or off by a factor of 100x. The pallet load of cash is actually $100,000,000.

Currency paper is about 0.006" thick, A stack of 10,000 one hundred dollar bills would be about sixty inches tall. Break that down into six ten inch stacks and a million dollars worth of one hundred dollar bills would fit in a grocery bag, no fork truck required.

Since the advent of calculators, people have lost the ability to make rational estimates as to magnitude of expected numerical answers.

I only posted the graphics from the linked article from which this thread orginated. If it is in error then the linked article is in error. Glad you took the time to count all that stuff.

Disregard my other post to you. You are correct as I copied the number down incorrectly. I wasn’t paying attention. My bad.
