You can put this solution on YOUR website! The thickness of a quarter is approximately 2 millimeters.
How many quarters would you need to make a two kilometer high pile?
--------------
2 km (1000 meter/1 km)(1000 ml/1 meter) = (2*1000*1000)/(1*1*1)= 2,000,000 ml
-----
So, (2 km/2 ml) = (2,000,000 ml/2 ml) = 1,000,000 quarters
----------------
