Their math is off. $1bn is 20bn nickels. With a diameter of 21.21mm and height of 1.95mm, that's an area of about 689mm, assuming 800 for a lack of packing efficiency. 800 * 20,000,000,000 = 16 trillion mm^3, or 16,000 m^3. A high end dump truck can carry ~20 yards of material, which is about 15.3 m^3. That means you'd require (16,000 m^3/15.3 m^3 per truck) = ~1,046 trucks. 1,046 trucks. Fact check your satire, bro. (Alternatively, using the "more than 30" figure of say, 35, each truck would be carrying 457 m^3 of nickels, or about 571.5 million nickels, which would weigh 3150 short tons per truck.) Fun morning exercise, at least.
