Hmmmm... $100 billion dollars

[Wild Cobra]

How many feet deep would a football field be covered with in $100 bills to make $100 billion dollars?

[Wild Cobra]

Better yet, how high above the rim would the money be if placed within a NBA court?

[Rodriguez]

If it's piled piece by piece it would head straightly to the moon, and the Apollo 13 cost a lot more than that amount considering the cash inflation, anyway that's only 100 billion fucking dollars.

Now just multiply that number by 7 and you almost get the cost of the Iraq War. :wakeup

How many feet deep would a football field be covered with in $100 bills to make $100 billion dollars?

That depends on how many $100 (height) you think it takes to make a foot.

$100, $100 billion dollars = 1 billion $100 bills

The standard football field is 360 ft x 160 ft = 360 x 100 = 36000 ft
360 x 60 = 21600 ft
_____
57600 ft (sq)

For convienence sake lets say that each $100 bill is 6 inches by 3 inches, therefore, iit would take a 6 x 12 $100 bill array to make a square foot or 72 $100 bills...

therefore it would take 72 x 57600 $100 bills to cover the field once

...72 x 57600 = 4,147,200 $100 to cover the field once

therefore..

4,147,200 into 1,000,000,000 = 41,472 into 10,000,000 ~ 241.12 times

Why $100 bills? Why not pennies?

Why $100 bills? Why not pennies?
Because $100 bills is something we can all wrap our heads around. A slip of $100 bills is $10,000. It takes 100 slips to make $1,000,000. This will fit in a normal sized briefcase. 105 slips will fit in an inside size of 23" x 16" c 3" (567 mm x 395 mm x 100 mm is needed) with room to spare. A slip measures 189 mm x 79 mm x about 10 mm. It's easy enough to imagine carrying around a million dollars. $100,000,000,000 is now 100,000 times larger, but it can easily be visualized.

And it would almost reach the goal height!

Bills are 189 x 79 mm (7.4218 × 3.125 in). It would be almost 11 inches thick. 1389 bills x 258 bill = 358,362 to cover once (360.01 x 159.98 ft.) 2791 bills high would be about 279 mm or a fraction short of 11". This figures for 10 mm a slip (0.1 mm a bill,) but I'm unsure of that dimension.

Placing it on a basketball court is more impressive.
