How much money would you need to lay one dollar bills from the end of the sun to Pluto?
Oh, what a good question! A dollar bill is 152 milimetres in length and the distance from the Sun to Pluto varies between 4.4 billion kilometres a perihelion and 7.4 billion kilometres at aphelion. By my calculations that would be: Perihelion: $28,947,368,421,052.63 Aphelion: $48,684,210,526, 315.78
