This infographic visually represents what $1 trillion looks like in physical $100 bills. It provides a comparison of different monetary values, starting with a single $100 bill and scaling up to $1 trillion.

One Hundred Dollars: A single $100 bill is shown, described as the most counterfeited denomination.
Ten Thousand Dollars: A small stack of $100 bills, enough for a vacation or a used car.
One Million Dollars: A larger stack of bills, equivalent to 92 years of work for the average person.
One Hundred Million Dollars: Shown stacked on an ISO/military-standard-sized pallet, highlighting how much space it takes up.
One Billion Dollars: Depicted as several massive stacks of pallets filled with money, with a human figure for scale.
One Trillion Dollars: Displayed as a huge field of double-stacked pallets covering an area as large as a Boeing 747-400 aircraft.

The graphic emphasizes the vast scale of $1 trillion, noting that spending $1 million per day since the time of Jesus would still not reach $1 trillion today. The visualization helps provide perspective on the immense size of large sums of money.
