Inspired by a visualisation done last year of $1 trillion, I spent a little time playing with Google Sketchup to try and understand just how much money Anglo (ie the public) is expected to lose in its latest fiscal year. So I started with the average male as used in Sketchup (let’s call him Seanie) and drew him next to €1 million in €100 bills, to scale:

Next here’s Seanie next to €10 million:

And now Seanie next to €100 million, on a standard euro sized pallet:

And oh yes, Seanie next to €1 billion, in cool hard cash:

And finally, Seanie next to the lower end projected losses for Anglo: €11 billion:

Nice.
