Lets say the sun is 93 million miles away. At 5280 feet per mile thats 491,040,000,000 feet. At 12 inches per foot that's 5,892,480,000,000 inches. A dollar bill is 6.14 inches long. Dividing by 6.14 gives you less than a trillion. So a trillion dollar bills would reach the sun and then some. You'd have a bit over 40billion left over which would be about enough to reach to the moon and back 7 times, then go around the world 7 times.
