One Trillion dollars..

That is double stack single pallets such as below which contains one million dollars.

Here's what ten trillion dollars looks like:

If you spend it today, you might get a pack of gum. Tomorrow, one stick.

AND THIS is how it looks after it is deposited in the Treasury.

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.
