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

$300/hooker = about 3 million times.
At $4000/hooker (Spitzer) = 250,000 times

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

The photos
I found it here.
http://sites.google.com/site/artmarcovici/ 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. |
