It's so unbelievable I always have to check my figures every time I do this: Value of a thousand dollar bill $1,000 Thickness of a thousand dollar bill (guesstimated) 0.003 inch Number of thousand dollar bills in an inch high stack 333.3 Number of thousand dollar bills in a foot 4000 Value of a foot of thousand dollar bills $4,000,000.00 Height of a billion dollar stack 250 feet Height of a trillion dollar stack 47.3 miles Current National Debt 8.1 trillion dollars Height of the national debt in a stack 383.5 miles Source of national debt data: brillig.com
