but one thing we do keep noticing is how many billions of dollars are sloshing around (or not) in different economies or in foreign aid, so how big exactly would a pile of one billion dollar bills be if all were printed as a $1 bill? well there is I suppose the risk of mathematical mistakes, but looking on the Internet here are three answers, above the stack would be 68 miles high! I thought that could not be correct, so I looked at another site,
and found this handy chart which gave the answer that was even taller, 78 miles high! so I went to a third source, wbilljohnson, on his site the answer is a seemingly more reasonable 63 miles high, but in any event even at the minimum height of 63 miles for just 1 billion, just think if you had $100 billion in one dollar bills in the bank, how big the bank would have to be to keep it in!
