    That’s an awfully large sign. Did somebody mismeasure the sign?

    By the numbers:

    A dollar bill is 6.14 inches long or about the size of an adult’s hand.

    10 dollars laid end-to-end is a bit over 5 feet or the size of a child.

    100 dollars is about 51 feet or slightly wider than a basketball court.

    1,000 dollars is 511 feet or the distance from the box seats to the outfield wall in a baseball stadium. (Ballpark estimate).

    1,000,000 dollars is about 96 miles or a road trip from Manhattan to downtown Philadelphia.

    1,000,000,000 (billion) dollars is about 97,000 miles or 3.8 trips around the world.

    1,000,000,000,000 (trillion) is 97,000,000 miles or about the distance from the Sun to the Earth also known as an Astronomical Unit or AU.

    The national debt is 35 trillion dollars or 36.5 AU. This many dollar bills laid end-to-end would extend to beyond the orbit of Neptune.

    The national debt is literally astronomical.

    We have to improvise until they release the new King Charles rulers and tape measures.

    I thought it was bigger than a bread box. And there must be a hail division somewhere!

    In the UK, a double-decker bus was somehow engrained as a measure of volume. Fortunately, it did not make it into metrication.
