This is why some one wins a lottery and the wants to see the hard cash, its always in small bills. Showing them in large bills is a massive disappointment.
bet it'd be 100x as big...

Now do it in peak-of-hyperinflation Zimbabwean pennies! I'm not sure if there's enough atoms in the universe for that.
