Damn, where the hell do we keep this money at?
>>"where the hell do we keep this money at?"<<
We have other bills beside $1's. Divide that pile by 100.
>>Divide that pile by 100<<
Try thousands, or millions.
Or, even think of it as ELECTRONIC or GOLD.
Not all of the country's money is paper....

can somebody show me the same thing in pennies
Interesting concept.
Thats just HALF of what the bailout actually was too.
And to BRAD. I think soup and bread lines is a ways away if at all. I also think you're drastically overestimating the effect a "recession" can have on our economy.
I wrote a little blog about my thoughts on the matter and its bad, just not as bad as you're saying it will be:
anyone who responded to rizzy needs to learn to detect sarcasm.
Unbelievable!!! Should be written also in metric system.
so i followed the pictures up to 191 billion but the jump from 191 to 315 seems a little outlandish... your telling me another 124 billion will raise the pile 4 fold. Is that money printed on stone tablets?
Logic Hole, the difference is in how the money is arranged. In the 191 billion picture, the stack is (roughly) 4x5x9 (where 1 block is 900 million) but the 315 billion dollars are a tower with a 4x4 base. This creates the perceived drastic difference.
are those in$1 bills
This is the saddest thing I have come across All day...
That kind of complicates my idea of creating a stash.
Consider that the wealthiest people in the world have upwards of 30 Billion dollars. Or at least they did until this month.
I wonder at what point they would say "You know what? I have enough money now."
Ok, Maybe the money is ELECTRONIC or GOLD, but what if it wasn't? Suppose to the contaary it was one dollar bills...
I wonder how much it costs for stoarge space to store these different amount!!! lol
Here is my hub of dollars looking the sexiest! I have added your hub to my hub article!;)
Great hub!!
Just change that $$$ into €€€ and you can easily put it into your pocket. SCNR ;)
I think most people would probably write a cheque
i want to see the same thing in penises. a big tower of penis worth $300bln
Why would you ever want that amount of money in the lowest denomination? Surely 100 dollar bills would make the far easier.
So if we give 315 Billion dollers to the rich bastard bankers to party on, with no restraints. then we will be able to buy a gallon of gas for 900 million. What a deal. Im going to stock up on bullets, and home grown food. I suggest the rest of you learn to speak Chinaes.
I did the calculation just for the heck of it.... If we assume 10 pennies is an inch and you stacked 300 billion dollars up in pennies in one single colum it would reach half way to the sun... That is approximately 47 million miles!!!!
Oops!! me again... sorry it is only 470 thousand miles of pennies. Ihought it would be more than that. Still quite a distance... That is 18 times around the world at the equator!!!
I have a $315B dollar bill that fits in my wallet. Why would you want to stack up your 315B $1 bills like that? It's dangerous. I hope most people would have better sense than this.
seriously, recessions are natural and required in the american economy, if there is no real downturn then the a collapse is inevitable. but a recession is considerably different than a depression. do you really expect a 25% unemployment rate?
I want to see the money in pennies!!!!
That's just awesome! wonder how big it would be in European Billion's ;D fucking huge compared to this I guess :D
Only 3% of america's money is cotton (Not made from paper guys ;-) )
The rest is made literally from nowhere..
All of our money is made in debt from bonds traded to the world bank (here in america) but on top of that 100x what we borrow in bonds is made from thin air.
that is a lot striper bait
This will make a serious lump under the mattresses of the Wall Street moneymonsters. Probably the only thing that would keep them from sleeping well at night.
Why do Americans have $1 notes, it's a waste! Go the good old Aussie dollar coins mate! America has too much money 4 it's own good!
sound, love it.
Just so you know, dollar bills aren't made of paper. They're made of cotton.
Nice.
now arnt u glad u neve had a credit card :D
my family has 984 billion
thats a lot!!!!
I don't need that much! How about just a portion?
Damn! thats a HELL LOT OF A MONEY MANNNN!!! I would take a little of it tooo!!
omg thats a lot of money for anyone!
Now this is something amazing!!!
Thats really a huge huge money :)
deluxdon.
Wow. its incredible....
Now I know how it looks :}
OMG ! I hope there is not a strong wind to blow the money away !
Hell lot of money guys! i wonder where they keep that much money.
What the hell...is that for real...Now, if someone give me all that money cash...where would I put it..
I will just take the top floor please
Thats amazing!
I would like to see how that would look in $100 notes.
Man it would take a full 747 crashing into that money pile to knock it over
Where do I find a mattress big enough to hide it under!!!
Holy cow! Amazing. Great idea for a hub!
I love it,where did you get these diagrams? I want something similar to this but a chart matrix for a service. Is there a site that does this?
Thanks Jim,

awsome. this is really awesome. nice point of view.
maybe before the financial crisis the amout of $ 315 billion wasn't imagineable by any human brain.Time changes and now it looks like that the smallest unit is $ 1 billion, given by the government around the world to help companies in trouble. Companies hold by sharholder, taken in her pockets billions of bucks profit the last years.
We in Germany said: it's privacy the profit and socialization the loss
Simply stunning.
Amazing, were did you get the pictures.
I wish I got some of that pile.
Thats a lot money...a little bit for me please ;-)
1 million dollar is already enough for me.. but 1 billion or more is not a bad idea.. why not?
Thats really crazy. Numbers are only numbers. But if you see it in a picture, it ist really really crazy.
Greetings from Germany.
Awesome. I wasn't expecting THAT!

i wrote what a real modern day depression would look like here...
http://godandall.blogspot.com/2008/03/gas-to-10-ga
i think it would make the 1920's depression look like a walk in the park.
The reason being is the suburbs are so big that you cant put a GOV soup line every 6 blocks, we are TOO big now as a nation.
If trucks stop geting food to groceries, or the grocery stores go out of business, or, food is too high to buy, or... or...
There is a TIPPING POINT in our economy where EVERYTHING UNRAVELLS.
If we stay BELOW that point, we are OK,ther ewill just be high unemployment, prices, etc...
BUT< IF we go PAST that point, EVERYTHING breaks down.
No police, fire, gas, water, eectricity etc... (the GOV cant pay workers if the GOV is broke)
cheers
