![]() To put that in perspective I put the stack next to a London double-decker bus. What if instead of being in a big block, all the notes were in a single pile? If that were done we’d have a stack of notes 5.65m high. So my million is about 45.2cm high with a single block of £40,000 at the front. So what does a million pounds look like? I’ve built my million pounds out of 25 blocks of £40,000. A nice block of money I’m sure you’ll agree. Next what might one hundred thousand pounds (£100,000) look like? A bit like this photo, 9 stacks, each with a bit over eleven thousand pounds in it. What does one hundred thousand pounds look like? If you build the stack out of used banknotes it won’t look so neat because of all the crinkles and folds. Of course your £2000 stack will only look like this if you use fresh new banknotes straight off the printing press. ![]() Here is £2000 with some mystery legs to give you a sense of scale. A stack of 100 notes with a value of £2000 will therefore be just 11.3mm high. ![]() Each one is 149x80mm with a thickness of 0.113mm. To do this I need to know the dimensions of the £20 bank note. I’m therefore going to create a million pounds out of £20 notes. I also have a ruler, a calculator, and a copy of Paint Shop Pro. Unfortunately I don’t have a million pounds, but I do have one single twenty pound note. If you’ve ever wondered what a million pounds (£1,000,000) looks like this post may help.
