Things That Cost 1 Trillon Pounds
So the UK national debt will be over a trillion pounds? What’s that worth?
Congratulations to blogger ‘Old Holborn,’ who’s collated some ideas to give scale to the size of One… Trillion… Pounds… the estimated UK National Debt over the next few years:
- If there were enough £1 coins available; you’d need a colossal 10 million tonnes of them. Which is the approximate weight of 32 of the World’s largest Supertankers.
- How about if on the day that Queen Victoria died you dragged £25 million Pounds in used notes off into the woods and burnt them; and then repeated the exercise EVERY day since? You’d still be two years short of destroying a Trillion Pounds.
- If it were turned into £20 notes you’d need 2000 Securicor vans to move it.
There’s more over on Old Holborn’s Blog.
