Visualizing the Stimulus - What a Trillion Dollars Looks Like in $100 Bills
By Twisted Sifter on Friday, March 13, 2009 filed under ART & DESIGN.Images - 6 | Length - very short
In the quest for relevant context, the article above attempts to demonstrate just how much a trillion dollars is (i.e., the US bailout). They used a program called Google SketchUp to create the 3D model.
My goal to become the world’s first trillionaire remains.

This is $100 aka Benjamin aka C-Note aka Hundo

$10,000 aka $10K aka 1 Stack of High Society (from Rounders)

$1 Million aka A Milli

$100 Million on a pallet/skid

$1 Billion aka One Billion dollars (no other moniker required)

Mind the person at the bottom left.
Note the pallets are double-stacked.
*Update: Just came across another site that visualizes a trillion dollars in a host of ways with eye-catching creative (the style they used seems to be a growing design trend). There are 9 other poster style pieces which can be found here (courtesy of mint.com).
