   This reminds me of a (slightly) related fact; when the government
estimates the amount of money in circulation in the U.S. (from actual
surveys and the like) they get a number which is only about 10% of
what they get by estimating ($$ printed) - ($$ destroyed).  As I recall
the numbers are about $2E10 and $2E11.
   I believe that most of the difference is believed to have found its
way to foreign countries, where American currency is valued as a store
of wealth.
