The present US currency measures 2.61 inches wide by 6.14 inches long, and the thickness is .0043 inches.
1 trillion is 1,000,000,000,000. (at least in the US, a British trillion is sometimes 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 one million times larger then the US trillion.
That is why it is a good idea to use scientific notation: 1 US trillion = 1*1012. 1 British trillion = 1*1018. A hell of a difference).
So, a stack of 1 trillion dollar bills would be:
1,000,000,000,000 x .0043 inches = 4,300,000,000 inches.
4,300,000,000 inches = 358,333,333.333333 feet
358,333,333.333333 feet = 67,866.1616 miles
Say 68 thousand miles to be approximate
The equator is about 24,900 miles in circumference.
This means that at the equator the stacked bills (now lying on their edges) would circle the earth about 2.73 times.
The bills side by side would cover almost 4000 square miles, an area larger than the state of Delaware

It depends on how many dollar bills you have! Lacking that variable, one US dollar is 0.0043 inches thick. So, a stack of one million dollars is about 358 feet four inches high.
$1,389,473,684.20 Assuming that a single bill is 0.0043 inches thick. You would have to have a stack of 100's 10,795.45 miles high to equal the United States national debt of 15 trillion dollars.
Approximately $22,900
Approximately 67.866 miles high if they are in pristine condition.
