At that rate, you can afford to leave a skid as a tip.

Imagine what a trillion dollars would look like in pennies. I believe you
would need the Grand Canyon to hold them all.

Another way to look at it is:
1 trillion dollars = 10 billion $100 bills
if each one is .004 inches thick, a stack of $100 dollar bills that
totaled 1 trillion dollars would be:
40 million inches high or
more than 3 million feet high or
more than 630 miles high

Not sure about the Grand Canyon. Is it larger than 57.8 million cu. yards?
Here's a slightly different way of looking at those pennies. A penny is 1.55
mm thick
(http://www.usmint.gov/about_the_mint/index.cfm?flash=yes&action=coin_specifications).
100 trillion pennies makes a stack 96.3 million miles high. The distance
from the Earth to the Sun at Aphelion, it's farthest point in orbit, is 94.5
million miles.
