Ten Billion Pennies
10,000,023,552
Ten billion, twenty-three thousand, five hundred and fifty-two Pennies
[ Fifty school buses (as defined previously). ]
Current estimates place the world's population at six billion people. The pile of pennies
above would then be nearly enough for two pennies for every person on Earth. The U.S.Mint
currently manufactures about this many pennies every year.
In the image above, Graham and his ten billion coins are now standing on a standard U.S.
football field (360 x 160 feet) for further scale. Next up, the hundred-billion cube.
