We'll start with RM100 note. Currently the biggest denomination in Malaysian currency. Most every one has seen them, slightly fewer have owned them. Guaranteed to makes friend wherever they go.



A packet of one hundred RM100 note is less than 1/2" thick contains RM10,000. Fits in your pocket easily and is more than enough for week or two of shamefully decadent fun.



Believe it or not, this next litle pile is RM 1 million (100 packets of RM10,000). You could stuff it into grocery bag and walk around with it.



While a measly RM 1 million looked a little unimpressive, RM 100 million is a little more respectable. It fits neatly on a standard pallet.


And RM 1 Billion now we're really getting somewhere....




Next we'll look at RM 1 Trillion. This is that number we've been hearing about so much. What is a Ringgit Malaysia one trillion? We'll, it's a million million, It's a thousand billion. It's a one followed with 12 zeros.


You ready for this?

It's pretty surprising.

Go ahead ....

Ladies and Gentlemen. I give you RM 1 Trillion.



And notice those pallets are double stacked)

So the next time you hear someone toss around the phrase "RM Trillion"... that's what they're talking about.

BTW, after 4 years DS Najib become Prime Minister of Malaysia, total of Federal Government Debts have been skyrocketed to  almost RM 500 Billion which is equal to RM 1/2 Trillion. That's half stacked of those pallets
