quote - I secretly locked up the money in a trunk box and deposited it with the Red Cross here in Damascus

& how big is this trunk??

so I asked Google 'how much space does a billion dollars fill' - I thought it would be a bit much asking about $47,500,000.00USD Million - but one of the related searches is this one about what 121 trillion (US debt) looks like

but getting back closer to the bloke's $47,500 million How Much Does a Billion Dollars Weigh

alas, Your search - how much does $47,500,000.00USD dollars weigh - did not match any documents.

oooh, this is fun, but I really must stop playing & do stuff that needs to be done!
