The MegaPenny Project

Dang that’s a lot of pennies!

Since they can do a better job of describing their site than I can, I’ll quote them to provide a description of the site.

Visualizing huge numbers can be very difficult. People regularly talk about millions of miles, billions of bytes, or trillions of dollars, yet it’s still hard to grasp just how much a “billion” really is. The MegaPenny Project aims to help by taking one small everyday item, the U.S. penny, and building on that to answer the question: “What would a billion (or a trillion) pennies look like?”
