My best guess is Quintillion. This follows from the Million, Billion,
Trillion, Quadrillion, Quint...
However, in class, I'd call it ExaBucks since 'exa' is 10^18.

REPOSTING BECAUSE IT WAS NOT PROCESSED
What is the name for this very large number: 10^18?
I was going to type bigillioion (reflecting my ignorance).
