Where did those numbers come from and just who went out and counted them all?.:smile Now imagine that person counting all those pennies (cents) and a sneeze comes up, his wife calls him to dinner, he drops one and it rolls under a table, etc. Wouldn't he then loose count? What if at 1.63 Trillion and had to start all over?:whistle: </p><p>Now imagine counting all those at the rate of 1/second. With 31,536,000 seconds in a year, how long would it take to count all those? Worse yet, after all done, someone makes one more? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>I truely suspect there are actually only 1.6499998742 Trillion out there. </p><p>Everyone constantly mentions changing the metalic content of our coinage to some form of cheaper metals.
