How much is sixty billion double dollars worth?


In Trigun, Vash the Stampede is wanted for sixty billion double dollars
($$60,000,000,000). I don't remember any indication of how much money that
actually is in the Trigun universe. I'm sure it's quite a lot, but how much is
it really? Enough to buy a house? A power plant? An entire city?

So, **how much is $$60,000,000,000 actually worth?**




Well, in one episode, he buys a bag of donuts, about 10-15 of them, and pays
$$30. The average donut costs $1.20 (I literally just looked it up on Google
[[here]](http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_much_does_the_average_donut_cost?#slide=1)).
If you round it to 10 donuts, it's $12. If you round to 15, it's $18. You can
safely say that one double dollar is approximately equal to fifty cents ($$1 =
$0.50) which, whether on purpose or a total lucky mistake by the author of
Trigun, makes a lot of sense, in a weird reverse way. So, by this (way too
complicated) logic, he is worth $30,000,000,000.00!
