Now do it in pennies.

Here's a trillion pennies: http://www.kokogiak.com/megapenny/sixteen.asp And if that's not enough, one quadrillion pennies: http://www.kokogiak.com/megapenny/seventeen.asp and if that's still not enough, one quintillion pennies: http://www.kokogiak.com/megapenny/eighteen.asp

Now do it in peak-of-hyperinflation Zimbabwean pennies! I'm not sure if there's enough atoms in the universe for that.

Exactly. Since 50% of high growth companies are funded with less than $50,000, $1 trillion would fund the start of 20M young high growth companies. Fairly certain at least one of those, 20M, would have solved the financial crisis. In other related news, as of a couple of years ago, my town has a beautiful new landscaped highway median, welcoming you as you enter the city. Source: http://www.inc.com/magazine/201209/in…
