The length of a dollar bill is 6.14 inches so:
6140000000000 inches
12 inches in a foot:
6140000000000 ÷ 12 = 511666666666.67 feet
5280 feet in a mile:
511666666666.67 ÷ 5280 = 96,906,565.66 miles (that will take you almost 4 million miles past the sun)
Oh, dude, let me break it down for you. So, a stack of a trillion dollars in 100 dollar bills would be about 789 miles high. That's like stacking cash all the way from New York City to Chicago. Just imagine the view from up there, right?
Extremely high: 5,157,828.28 miles.
Extremely high: approximately 882,260 miles high!
To demonstrate a trillion dollars, you could start by understanding that a trillion is 1,000 billion or 1,000,000 million. If you were to stack one trillion one-dollar bills, the stack would reach approximately 67,866 miles high, which is almost three times the distance from the Earth to the International Space Station. Another way to visualize a trillion dollars is to consider that if you spent $1 million every day, it would take you almost 3,000 years to spend a trillion dollars.
Back in the late 1970s I actually saw a hundred thousand dollar bill. If they still made them our stack would not be that high even for a trillion dollars since it would only take ten million of them to make a trillion dollars. But even that stack would be a sight to behold. But they stopped making that domination of bill back in the mid 1960s, 1964 I think. On our way to how high the stack would be in 100 dollars bills for the trillion dollars, most paper money (though it is not made out of paper these days), is .0043 inches thick, so one trillion in 100s would be a stack that contains 10 billion bills. The stack would be 678 MILES thick/high. It works out something like this: 10,000,000,000 times .0043 equals 43,000,000 inches which equals 3,583,333 feet which equals 678.66 MILES. If it was 50s the stack would be twice as high or 1357.32 MILES. If its 20s the stack would be 3393.30 MILES high. In 10s it would be twice as high as the previous or 6786.60 MILES and in one dollar bills it would be ten times higher or 67866 Miles high. So in Ben Franklins the stack would be 100 times smaller 678.66 Miles high. That amount in the value of the National Debt would be a stack 10179.92 MILES high. All figures are rounded to the second decimal point.
About 67,866.16 miles tall.
A trillion dollars USD (1 x 10^12 dollars), in a stack with $233 to the inch, would reach a height of more than 67,000 miles (67,737 miles).

1000 billion dollars!!!!\ woah dog! ============================================================== Here are some other perspectives on 1 trillion dollars: Consider that light travels at about 186,000 miles per second. This time is called a light-second and is often used in astrophysical discussions. A light-second is also about 983,571,056 feet (that's how many feet are in 186,000 miles). This is almost 1 billion. Now, since a dollar bill is 6 inches long, there are almost 2 billion 1 dollar bills in a stretch that covers 186,000 miles - and it would take light 1 second to travel the length of 2 billion dollar bills. Now consider the distance from the earth to the sun - average is about 93,000,000 miles. Converting this to feet, and accounting that it takes 2 dollar bills to make a foot, we find that it takes 982,080,000,000 dollar bills to go from here to the sun - end-to-end. This is almost (within 1.8%) 1 trillion dollars. If we actually stretched the 1 trillion dollars from here to the sun, it would take light 8 minutes and 20 seconds to go from one end to the other. That's what a trillion dollars is.

Approximately 67.87 miles high.
One trillion dollars is represented as $1,000,000,000,000. Divide that by the hundred dollar bill ($100). For those quick minded math people, you drop 2 zeros.1,000,000,000,000 / 100 = 10,000,000,000 This means there are TEN BILLION hundred dollar bills in a trillion dollars.To put that in perspective, the US bill note is about .0043 inches thick. This stack of ten billion hundred dollar bills would be 43,000,000 inches tall. That's three million five hundred eighty-three thousand three hundred thirty-three feet tall. Hard to grasp...scale it up to miles and you get a stack more than 678 miles tall. On it's side, that would be a continuous line of bills stretching from Los Angeles, Ca nearly to Salt Lake City, UT!

A billion dollars in one dollar bills will make a stak that is roughly 68 miles high 1,000,000,000X.0043 = 4,300,000 inches. 4,300,000 inches/12=358,333.33 feet 358,333.33 feet/5280 (mile)= 67.86 miles So the answer is about 68 miles.
