If you were standing in the doorway to a room (perfect cube), filled with stacked $100 bills totaling $700 billion, the room would be 64 feet, 9.25" on each side.

If you were to start handing out the bills at a rate of one per second ($100 per second), it would take you 221 years, 9 months, 24 days, 7 hours, 56 minutes and 40 seconds before you reached the end.

If you wanted to transport the actual bills, it would take over 905 cargo vans (like a Ford E350 long cargo van), and if you spaced the convoy out so that there were 2 van lengths between the vans, the convoy would stretch over 10 miles.


Edit: if we stick with $20 bills...

The room needs to be 110 feet - 9 inches on each side.

And it would take over 1109 years at 1 bill per second.

To transport it would take over 4500 vans and the convoy would stretch over 51 miles.
