In case you were wondering
Ever wonder how much money there is in the world? Not bank accounts and 401(k) and that stuff, but real hard cash money.
Found this at the bottom of an article about the new five dollar bill.
So, i can't tell about the rest of the world, but in the US, there's about $225 billion in folding money out there, about $150 billion of that in hundreds. How much you got on you?

The government is only about one-third of the way through the redesign of the $100 and hopes to have that process completed by this time next year. Extra effort is going into the $100 makeover since this bill represents more than 70 percent of the $776 billion of currency in circulation, two-thirds of which is held overseas.

On a bit of a tangent, I found a bill in my wallet with a "Where's George" stamp on it. wheresgeorge.com was one of the first odd but intriguing uses of the internet I found 8-10 years ago. See how far all your bills have traveled! It was an interesting premise, but you really had to be devoted if you were going to enjoy it.
Anyway, $625 million of that U.S. currency is tracked on Where's George.
