Why does everyone what to describe money in physical size terms? 1 Trillion dollars can be printed on a single piece of paper and placed neatly in your wallet. The Trillion obama has invented isn't even in paper. It takes up 5 bytes of memory on a computer - exactly the same as the word 'sh1te'.Originally Posted by Asi-Irish

This is what 100 trillion dollars looks like. Coming to a wallet near you.
Seriously though if anything represented the failure of Zimbabwe its that note.

Very few people can quantify them without a physical reference.

There can be no physical reference. Its like counting angles on the head of a pin. Its all just an imaginary construct.
A trillion dollars can take up a sports stadium or fit in your wallet, in the same way that a book could be printed to take up a stadium or sit on your desk, It just depends on the font.
"Who will bailout the IMF after FF is finished with them?"
Until the day you have to start paying back some of it.
I agree with you its a construct, but in order to put some kind of sense to the enormity of what it is you need a physical reference.
All the mined gold since the day man thought.
"I like the look of that " would fit in two olympic size swimming pools.

Gold is physical, so that is a good thing to think of in physical terms.
Money is an idea. How many ideas would fit in a swimming pool?
