What a billion dollars looks like in an example

What a billion dollars looks like: height, the weight, volume

Volume, height, the weight

In this way, to transport 1 000 000 000 $, will need a 20-ton rail container, which everyone has seen more than once on the railway, in the port or on the highway, and for storage, for example in a bank, requires a room volume 11,5 м³ (eg, with dimensions 2,5 on 2,5 on 2 m).

If we imagine the height of the "stack", folded of $ 100 bills 1 000 000 000 dollars, then it will be 100 000 * 0,011 m = 1100 m. For comparison, the tallest building in the world is the Burj Khalifa, located in Dubai (United Arab Emirates), has a height 828 m. Ostankino TV towers (540 m) you will need exactly two pieces, stacked one on top of the other, to reach the height of such a "stack".

You can compare the weight using such examples: a hundred dollar bill weighs like 6-7 large ants, and 1 000 000 000 dollars by weight (10 tons) equal to the weight of a large African elephant (the largest African (savanna) elephant, included in the Guinness Book of Records, weighed 12 more than tons) or the weight of one and a half Kamaz dump trucks. By the way, the required amount can be collected not only with banknotes of other denominations, but also in coins. The largest worthy coin in the United States is the 50 cents (half dollar) she weighs 11,34 r. Two billion of these coins (one billion dollars) weighs (2 000 000 000 * 0,01134 kg) 22680000 kg or 22680 tons, and this is already a herd of the largest African elephants from a thousand heads, and in order to transport such a cargo by rail, you will need 324 gondola car with carrying capacity 70 tons each.
