Better yet, how high above the rim would the money be if placed within a NBA court?
How many feet deep would a football field be covered with in $100 bills to make $100 billion dollars?

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 ing dollars.
Now just multiply that number by 7 and you almost get the cost of the Iraq War.
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?
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.
No, it would only go about 61 miles.
And it would almost reach the goal height!Now just multiply that number by 7 and you almost get the cost of the Iraq War.
Close... Not! Your 72 bills would make a sq yard not a sq foot. If you didn't make that mistake, your answer would be close.
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.
