    There’s a Tom Scott video where he illustrates the difference between a million USD and a billion USD, expressed as the size of a stack of 1 dollar bills.

    A million was about the size of a football field and a less than two minute walk.

    A billion took him from somewhere near London all the way to the east coast, and had him drive for over an hour.

    The video in question.
