US debt clock runs out of digits

In a sign of the times the National Debt Clock in New York has run out of digits to record the growing figure.

The government's current debt at about 10.2 trillion dollars.

The organisation that runs the sign said it plans to update it next year by adding two digits to make it capable of tracking debt up to a quadrillion dollars.
