[QUOTE=Craptasket;26538442]I wounder if it's enough bills to make a house with[/QUOTE] probably enough to make an apartment building out of 100$ bills. [editline]7th December 2010[/editline] The height of a stack of 1,000,000,000 (one billion) one hundred dollar bills measures 358,510 feet or 67.9 miles. This would reach from the earth’s surface into the lower portion of the troposphere – one of the major outer layers of earth’s atmosphere. [editline]7th December 2010[/editline] The area covered by 1,000,000,000 (one billion) $100 dollar bills measures 4 square miles. This would cover an area equal to the size of 1,020 acres. [editline]7th December 2010[/editline] The length of 1,000,000,000 (one billion) $100 dollar bills laid end-to-end measures 96,900 miles. This would extend around the earth almost 4 times.
Use it as toilet paper.
They were printing money to give to China :downs:
Does this really matter THAT MUCH? It's not like they literally lost 100 billion dollars, because the paper is only worth something when in circulation
They could give them to me. I'm a collector of weird currency. I'm also a spender of weird currency.
[QUOTE=Tetracycline;26540848]Does this really matter THAT MUCH? It's not like they literally lost 100 billion dollars, because the paper is only worth something when in circulation[/QUOTE] Still costs money - it's a waste of taxpaper's dollars.
[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;26540869]it's a waste of taxpaper's dollars.[/QUOTE] heh
It's just paper.
[QUOTE=Miskatonic;26541023]It's just paper.[/QUOTE] Actually US currency is mostly cotton, but it still costs money to fabricate and basically throwing out massive amounts of any product because of an error is unacceptable, especially when the US is as broke as it is.
[QUOTE=faze;26530586]You don't want it. Yours is probably worth more.[/QUOTE] a+ logic
That's gonna be costly..
Just what we need, more inflation.
I don't see why they cant just put it into the circulation as is.
