Money at the bottom of the sea

I have recently counted all the currency in the ocean. Unfortunately, I was unable to collect any of it, since the Ocean is owned by the UN under the Planetary Water Systems Act, and therefore, all the money in the ocean belongs to the U.N.

Anywho.. The total amount of currency found in the Oceans of the earth comes to $205,091,652,424.03 (Including foreign currency exchange rates; not including inflation)

Here is the quantity breakdown:

5,484,662,217 Pennies = $54,846,622.17
1,225,223,115 Nickles = $61,261,155.75
4,212,532,253 Dimes = $421,253,225.30
988,212,332 Quarters = $247,053,083.00
1,500,556 Half Dollar = $750,278.00
312,262 Saquejewean Dollars = $312,262.00
845,332 Silver Dollars = $845,332.00
36,515,565 Dollar Bills = $36,515,565.00
112,223 Two Dollar Bills = $224,446.00
52,321,558 Five Dollar Bills = $261,607,790.00
9,155,654 Ten Dollar Bills = $91,556,540.00
875,331 Fifty Dollar Bills = $43,766,550.00
1,568,223,427 One hundred dollar bills = $156,822,342,700.00 (This number is considerable higher due to the number of briefcases found with $100's stashed in them)
856 Five Hundred Dollar Bills = $428,000.00 (These were really rare, and not many were printed. Most of them went down with the Titanic.)
$500,112,332.15 in Pre-1950 Currencies
$46,548,776,542.66 in Foreign Currencies (after current exchange rates)

There you have it... The complete breakdown. (Disclaimer: no this is not real... and don't try this at home. Deep sea diving is dangerous.)

no problem. Really brings a new meaning to the phrase: "I would go to the ends of the earth for you"
