I came across these pretty cool images on the net. Some guy decided to illustrate what 1 trillion dollars actually looks like, in light of all this talk about bailouts amounting to at least that amount.

Here’s a $10,000 bundle (100 pcs of $100 bills)

Here’s a million dollars (100 packets of $10,000) -> I think there’s something wrong with this pic, it doesn’t look like 100 packets…

 Here’s 100 million dollars

Here’s 1 Billion dollars (looks impressive)

And finally…1 trillion dollars

Some more obscure facts about 1 Trillion:

Counting from 1 to 1 trillion (assuming 1 number per second) would take 31,700 years

If you were to pay out a debt of 1 Trillion using $100 bills, it would take you 317 years to count out the money (assuming 1 bill per second)
