__NOTOC__
Below is the complete transcript of the [https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/money_huge.png huge version] of the comic [[980: Money]].
+
*Below is the complete transcript for [[980: Money]].
 
+
**(Or so it will be - once someone finishes it).
Below in each panels section all these groups are listed as best as possible starting more or less from the top left going towards the bottom right. Within the groups, the individual items are listed similarly, but, if they're displayed in columns/rows, they will be used as well to define the order of the items. In groups with a given title, items that are on the list, will be indented to show where they belong. Similarly, if there is sub text on a given item, the text will be indented as well. If there is a title, it will be written in '''bold''' letters in the transcript.
+
*The transcript on the main page, has been assigned to just state the text that is visible in the small version of the image - that is mainly the headings.
 +
*This page tries to give a full transcript of this [http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/money_huge.png huge version of the comic].
 +
*To be able to link to this transcript from the explain section, the title panel and each of the five main panels will have a section
 +
**[[980: Money/Transcript#Money|Money]]

**[[980: Money/Transcript#Millions|Millions]]
 +
**[[980: Money/Transcript#Billions|Billions]]
 +
**[[980: Money/Transcript#Trillions|Trillions]]
 +
*Each group within each of these panels will have their own sub section for this purpose.
 +
**Due to the extensive work this is, there will be several notes in the transcript that may need to be moved to the explanation at some point, but this will be done so, when the right time arrives - i.e. when that relevant section of the explanation are written.  
 +
**One type will be the several errors mentioned below. There are not many sections that have been checked for errors, but when an error is discovered it will be noted.

:[There are 5 large panels below the title panel, each with a series of plots, comparing the values of various things. Each large panel is covered in colored squares, and each single square represents a power of ten (10^(3*n) for n = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4), be it single dollars, thousands of dollars, or even trillions of dollars. Below is a section for each of these panels]

:[Many of the items in each panel have been grouped in small or large groups - some clearly divided - maybe in a frame, or at least with a clear title. But many others are just grouped together. Below in each panels section all these groups are listed as best as possible starting more or less from the top left going towards the bottom right. Within the groups the individual items are listed similarly although if they are given in columns/rows this will be used as well to define the order of the items. If there is a heading for a group this will be used as the title for the sub section - else the first item in the group becomes the title. In groups with a given title, items that are on the list, will be indented to show where they belong. Similar if there are sub text to a given item - then this text will also be indented. If there is a title, then this will be written in '''bold''' letters in the transcript.]
