One dollar is roughly 6 inches long, and 2½ inches wide. Below you can see how $360,000 dollars form a mountain of the size of a normal person. But it is only the beginning. If you want to see how $9 million, $15 billion, or $315 billion look like keep scrolling and thinking about how to get these amounts!

Ok, we get it. $315 Billion looks like a lot of money, lol. seriously though, this helps me imagine the real cost of the war.
I think it would illuminate things better if you showed, graphically, the Iraqi civilian death count. Conservative estimates put the number of dead civilians at well over 100,000. What would 100,000 corpses look like stacked up like those dollar bills? If you laid 100,000 dead bodies end-to-end, how far would that distance cover? Other estimates put the civilian death count at a much higher figure, in excess of 1,000,000. Wikipedia has a great article on that at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_conflict_in_Iraq_since_2003
I’m sure I’m not the first person to mention this. Anyhow, keep up the great work.
Thanks,

Why show it in “1’s” — they make “100’s” you know.
