What kind of bills are those?

Benjamins?

I reckon I could fit that in my garage. Bring it over we'll see if I'm right.

Oh yeah, you've heard of those folks that never through anything out and die when they are trapped by a pile of garbage that's collapsed on top of them in their own house? I'd risk that.

Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy pretty much everything else, and would go a long way towards making it easier to be happy.

I expect I could fake a good happiness for the rest of my life with that!

And then they put it on junk pallets:rolleyes:

I'm still unclear on the value. Can you express it in terms of hookers and blow?

They must have taken those pix just before they shipped it to Iraq

$300/hooker = about 3 million times.

At $4000/hooker (Spitzer) = 250,000 times

Those are European dim. pallets, looks like they might be heat treated too. It should be on four ways. That load will fit on a 24 footer.

Is that enough money for a bank employee party in Vegas and have enough left to redecorate the CEO's office?

It's enough for one or the other, but not both.

I was hoping for pics. Or better still, samples.

Am I your pimp? ;)

You saved me from searching all over the forum for that picture, thank you.:D

The photos
 

I found it here.

According to the site, it is $1 Billion Dollars stacked on 12 pallets, all together 10 million 100 USD notes.

They claim it is the most expensive piece of art ever made.

One billion dollars?!

Ha! That's nothing.

The Federal Reserve has been "printing" more than 5 times that much every day for the past year....

....and giving it to the criminals on Wall Street so that they can hide the fact that they've been running fraud schemes hundreds of times larger than something like Madoff's scam.

The bailout/stimulus/pork package is nearing one TRILLION...

Here's $1.2T for ya...

Each stack is 125 feet wide, 200 feet deep, and 450 feet tall.

450 feet is the height of a 38-story building. It's the hieght of the Millenium Wheel
in London. It is also the height of the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas and the
Louisiana State Capitol Building.

1 million one dollar bills weighs 2.75 tons.
1 trillion 260 billion one dollar bills weighs 3 trillion 465 billion tons.
