Let's assume you want to go around the earth at the equator. (That is known as a great circle, just as an aside. ) So the distance around the earth at the equator is 24,901.5 miles and let's say a dollar is about 6 inches long. One mile= 63360 inches
63360 x 24901.5 = 1,577,759,040 inches to go around the equator. Now divide that by 6 and we have the number of bills.
1577759040 / 6 = 262,959,840
262,959,840 bills to go around the earth at the equator! And in these hard times, that's a lot of cash!

CoachThe circumference of the Earth at the equator is approximately 24,901 miles. The thickness of a dollar bill is about 0.0043 inches. To calculate how many dollar bills it would take to go around the Earth, we need to convert the circumference to inches and then divide by the thickness of a dollar bill. This would result in approximately 7,287,907 dollar bills needed to go around the Earth.

How many dollar bills would it take laying end to end to circle the earth?
It takes 41,851,655 U.S. dollar bills laying end to end to circle the earth. 24,902 Earth's circumference in miles X 5,280 (feet per mile) = 21,414,097 circumference of Earth in feet. 21,414,097 x 12 = 256,969,164 circumference of earth in inches. 256,969,164 / 6.14 inches (length of U.S. dollar bill) = 41,851,655 United States paper currency to encircle the earth if placed end to end. (DON'T PICK ON THE ROUNDING ERRORS, I DID THIS WITH PAPER AND PENCIL) 382,302 trips around the earth with U.S. ONE DOLLAR bills would almost cover the nations $16,000,000,000,000 (Trillion) debt. OR 3,823 trips around the earth with U.S. ONE-HUNDRED DOLLAR bills (the largest denomination currently printed in the U.S.) would almost cover our 16 Trillion Dollar Debt.
