A billion dollars...
A hundred billion dollars...
Eight hundred billion dollars...

We'll start with a $100 dollar bill. Currently the largest U.S. denomination in general circulation. Most everyone has seen them, slighty fewer have owned them. Guaranteed to make friends wherever they go.
the rest ...
