So, What Comes After The Trillions?
March 9th, 2009 Posted in Economy
Now that a billion just doesn’t buy you much anymore, I’ve tried to get my head around what a trillion dollars is.
Sure, it’s easy to write out the number, but you may want to get your head around what a trillion dollars looks like…
Here’s a great visual of what a trillion dollars is.
So you might ask… what comes after a trillion? Quadrillion.
…just in case we need to know. I think it should be something like a Kajillion. Sounds better.
Here’s the rest in order, in case we need them:

After the trillions the money becomes worthless and you start over again with a new currency. The current dollar is the third currency of the US so far I believe.
