Physical Concept of Money

Do you know your money? I mean… do you REALLY know your money? Could you picture how much space 1 trillion dollars of $100 banknotes would take up? We at Feel Desain can’t. So this is what this article is for – and we’re sure it will blow your mind as much as did ours. Enjoy the images below.

One Hundred Dollars
One Hundred Dollars

$100 – Most counterfeited money denomination in the world. Keeps the world moving.

Ten Thousand Dollars

$10,000 – Enough for a great vacation or to buy a used car. Approximately one year of work
for the average human on earth.

One Million Dollars

$1,000,000 – Not as big of a pile as you thought, huh? Still this is 92 years of work for the
average human on earth.

One Hundred Million Dollars

$100,000,000 – Plenty to go around for everyone. Fits nicely on an ISO / Military standard sized
pallet.

One Billion Dollars

$1,000,000,000 – You will need some help when robbing the bank. Now we are getting serious!

One Trillion Dollars

$1,000,000,000,000

When the U.S government speaks about a 1.7 trillion deficit – this is the volumes of cash the U.S.
Government borrowed in 2010 to run itself.

Keep in mind it is double stacked pallets of $100 million dollars each, full of $100 dollar bills.
You are going to need a lot of trucks to freight this around.

If you spent $1 million a day since Jesus was born, you would have not spent $1 trillion by now…
but ~$700 billion – same amount the banks got during bailout.

One Trillion Dollars

Comparison of $1,000,000,000,000 dollars to a standard-sized American Football field and
European Football field.

Say hello to the Boeing 747-400 transcontinental airliner that’s hiding on the right. This was until
recently the biggest passenger plane in the world.

15 Trillion Dollars

$15,000,000,000,000 – US national debt (credit bill) has just topped the 15 trillion 2 months before
Christmas 2011.

Statue of Liberty seems rather worried as United States national debt passes 20% of the entire
world’s combined GDP (Gross Domestic Product). In 2011 the National Debt will exceed 100% of
GDP, and venture into the 100%+ debt-to-GDP ratio that the European PIIGS have (bankrupting
nations).


$ 114.5 Trillion Dollars



$114,500,000,000,000. – US unfunded liabilities

To the right you can see the pillar of cold hard $100 bills that dwarfs the WTC & Empire State Building – both at one point world’s tallest buildings. If you look carefully you can see the Statue of Liberty.

The 114.5 Trillion dollar super-skyscraper is the amount of money the U.S. Government knows it does not have to fully fund the Medicare, Medicare Prescription Drug Program, Social Security, Military and civil servant pensions. It is the money USA knows it will not have to pay all its bills.
