How tall is a stack of 534000000000 pennies?

Answer 1

A penny is .0625 inches thick, so if you had a stack of 534,000,000,000 (five hundred thirty-four billon) pennies, it would be 33,375,000,000 (thirty-three billion three hundred seventy-five million) inches high, which is 2,781,250,000 (two billion, seven hundred eighty-one million, two hundred fifty thousand) feet high. This would be 526,751.894 miles.

In metric units, a penny is 1.55mm thick, so a stack of 534,000,000,000 pennies would be 827,700,000,000 (eight hundred twenty-seven billion seven hundred million) millimeters high. This would be 82,770,000,000 (eighty-two billion seven hundred seventy million) centimeters. That would be 827,700 km.

A stack of pennies this size would go around the earth at the equator 21.1533778 times!

Going by the average distance to the moon (384,400 km or 238,855 miles), a stack of pennies this high would go reach the moon and back with some pennies left over (the exact value is 2.205320776 times).

534,000,000,000 pennies=5,340,000,000 U.S. dollars (thats five billion, three hundred forty million). That would mean you are tied with or barely richer than Giorgio Armani at #144 on Forbes list of the world's billionaires.

If you have 534,000,000,000 pennies don't stack them, turn them into dollars!
