A billion billion billion is e+27. If a dollar bill is e-4 meters thick,
e+27 of them would extend e+23 meters. A light-year is 3e+8 meters/sec times
3e+7 secs/year or e+16 meters. A stack of a billion billion billion dollars
would extend e+7 light-years; more than a round trip to the Andromeda
Nebula.
