What does one TRILLION pounds look like?

                    One TRILLION pounds

What does

 one TRILLION pounds look like?  

look down the page

 you wont believe it .

make money on the net
Well here is the largest 
 English note £50  
 
        
   
 one  packet of 
 one hundred £50 bills
 
 is less than 1/2" thick
 and contains £5,000..
Here is Zoë    
beside believe it or not, 
 

 half million pounds 
(100 packets of £5,000).  
 
Here is Zoë    beside
 one million quid 



you can stuff it in
 a carrier bag easily
And the average bonus
 for high flying bankers.
One million seconds 
comes out to be about 11½ days.   
A million minutes ago was 
– 1 year, 329 days, 10 hours 
 and 40 minutes ago.
A million hours ago was in 1885.
The U.S. Treasury  deficit
is a million dollars
 every  five (5) seconds 

Here is Zoë   with £50 million 
 



 on a one meter pallet
 
 Here is Zoë 
 

 with £100 million

Here is Zoë  beside
 five hundred million 
 which is 
half a BILLION pounds

 
Here is Zoë  
with One BILLION pounds.
 



A billion seconds is 32 years.
A billion minutes ago 
was just after the time of Christ.

A billion hours ago

 man had not yet walked on earth.
A billion dollars deficit 
everyday at the U.S. Treasury.

How about this then Here is Zoë 
 

beside half a trillion pounds
what a difference
can  you see Zoë !!! ..
50 meters wide double stacked
Don’t forget they are £50 notes

So here  we are then
 Here is Zoë   
 
{she's had to move to the other side }
beside ONE TRILLION pounds.
 in fifty pound notes
it fits the pitch at Wembley 
yes its 2 pallets high] 
  the United kingdom debt 
is two Wembley s like this.
A trillion is written as 
1,000,000,000,000
 if you laid out a Trillion
 one dollar bills or Scottish
 pound notes end to end that 
will take you almost 4 million
 miles past the sun

It's a thousand billion. 
It's a one followed by 12 zeros.
if you counted one per second 
for  a trillion seconds it will 
take you  32,000 years
The country has not existed 
for a trillion seconds. 
Western civilization 
has not been around a trillion seconds.  

One trillion seconds ago – 31,688 years 
– Neanderthals stalked the plains
 of Europe.

the pentagon announced
 that they had mislaid 
two trillion dollars
 the day before 9/11 
amazingly !! 
the offices with the accounts in 
 were hit by  a plane / missile 
 and never investigated ??? 
After a trillion, a quadrillion comes next.
 

 


 

A trillion pounds is

 so large a number 

that only politicians
can use the term in conversation.

even then the numbers can  mean
 hugely differing amounts 
[so make sure they say
 how many zeros ]
For most of the 19th and 20th centuries, the United Kingdom uniformly used the long scale, while the United States of America used the short scale,[ see  diagram] so that the two systems were often referred to as British and American 

however
 In 1974, the government of the
 
UK switched to the short scale, a change that is reflected in its mass media and official usage.

since then the uk and the united states use the same [but you have to watch them ]

 


As it was until 1974
American    English
thousand thousand
million million
billion thousand million
trillion billion
quintillion trillion
sextillion thousand trillion
septillion quadrillion
octillion thousand quadrillion
                      




so this is based on 

the short scale system
