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.
In the context of US currency, a stack of money typically consists of 100 bills, which is also known as a "strap." A bundle usually contains 10 straps, so a stack of money would contain 1,000 bills. Therefore, it takes 10 bundles to make a stack of money.
Oh, isn't that just a lovely question to ponder! You see, in a one-inch stack, there are typically around 150 to 160 dollar bills. Just imagine the beautiful colors and textures of those bills all stacked together, creating a little piece of art in its own right.
Based on the research done here (http://www.cockeyed.com/inside/million/million.html) A million dollars worth of $100 bills makes a stack about 40 inches high! If you do the math, that means a Billion is 3,333 feet high and a trillion dollars would make a stack over 3 million feet tall or roughly 630 miles high!!!
if the nickels are stacked on top of each other, the stack will become 10mm higher with every nickel so 50 nickels could be 500mm high
