![]() At the time of writing this article, the current US Federal Debt stands at $9.357 trillion. The sheer magnitude of that number is difficult to comprehend. In order to illustrate just how large that number is consider the following... The size of a dollar bill is 6.6294 cm wide, by 15.5956 cm long, (6 ") and 0.010922 cm in thickness. It would take approximately 96,721,648 dollar bills to make up one square kilometre. If we were to cover an area with enough dollar bills equal to the current US debt it would have an area of 91,846 square kilometres which would cover more than the entire state of Maine! When stacked, the number of dollar bills required to represent the US debt would be 1,021,963 km high. This is more than 2.5 times the distance to the moon! Laid end to end the dollar bills would measure 1,459,268,344 km. Saturn at its furthest distance from the Sun is 1.5 billion kilometers and can be as close as 1.35 billion kilometers. Thus, if the dollars bills were laid end to end, they would reach the orbit of Saturn! |
