You can have 5000 of anything that starts with Y. What do you choose?

Yotta dollars

(Yotta is 10^24, so one million million million million)

Could you even store this money in the highest bills?

According to google the highest denomination note in use is $100 with a volume of 0.06890922 cubic inches.

5000x1024 = 5x1027

5x1027 x 0.06890922 = 3.445461x1026.

3.445461x1026 is 5.64x1021 m3 which is 5.21 x the volume of the earth.

So probably not.

Not with that attitude. 5000 yotta dollars and you can easily afford to store your currency off world

Build another moon with it. Or put it at a LaGrange point. Put it at all of the LaGrange points

If you fill all of the Lagrange points with too much mass then they cease to exist. The math will no longer work out in your favor
