pick up a textbook or book, and look at what 100 page looks about.
its 4-5 mm, lets presume its 5 mm
5mm * 100 packets = 500 mm, which is under 20 inches
the picture shows 2 rows of bills, so 20/2 = 10 inches long

That's a pretty useless visualization...
Why stop at showing it as $100 bills? Why not show it as pennies? You'll need 10,000 of them for each $100 bill.
Obviously when dealing with these extreme numbers, you'll never ever actual need all that paper to change hands...
And if it gets to where those extreme numbers are needed for everyday transactions, like Zimbabwe, obviously they'll start creating larger and larger bills...

The bill in the picture is the 3rd dollar, but the current exchange rate is based on the 4th dollar.
One dollar from the 4th series is worth one billion dollars in the 3rd series.
Meaning...
That bill is now worth 0.000001¢ CAD.

LOL | No, it's only me. 
I was also the one who had the one hundred billion dollar bill... http://www.revscene.net/forums/now-t....html?t=551127
And yeah, I get it for shits and giggles. 
I hold in my hand more ZW dollars than the 100 richest people in the world have COMBINED in USD.
And yes, it's real money...
