description: I found the Megapenny Project, a visualization tool that stacks pennies to show the physical scale of large sums. It helps conceptualize 'big money,' like how a high annual salary equals a six-foot metal block.

The [Megapenny Project](http://www.kokogiak.com/megapenny/default.asp) helps you visualise how big 'big money' is, by stacking pennies up. Our highly paid friends at IIM-B would earn a [6' block of metal](http://www.kokogiak.com/megapenny/seven.asp) each year.
