would need the Grand Canyon to hold them all.
1 trillion dollars = 10 billion $100 bills if each one is .004 inches thick, a stack of $100 dollar bills that totaled 1 trillion dollars would be: 40 million inches high or more than 3 million feet high or more than 630 miles high

.
100 trillion pennies makes a stack 96.3 million miles high. The distance from the Earth to the Sun at Aphelion, it's farthest point in orbit, is 94.5 million miles.
At that rate, you can afford to leave a skid as a tip.
A trillion here, a trillion there... soon, you're talking real money...
