Sometimes numbers get so high that it is hard to understand what they mean. Here's a great example.

How much money is $17.5 Billion? Well, it is a pile of $100 bills the height of 50 Washington Monuments. About 5 miles straight up!

Conversion.
$1 billion= a stack of $100 bills is a tad over 1/4 mile high (3 Wash Monuments high!)
1 mile of stacked $100 bills = $3.5 billion

Good to know if you want to explain how much a fuck load of money looks like!
