Thanks!  I didn't do the math on the number of discrete units are in a single bitcoin.  I knew it was a lot, but not 210 trillion.
One bitcoin has 100 million units (which can be increased with a protocol modification). The 210 trillion figure was the total number of units in all coins for a hypothetical scenario where 90% of coins are lost and there are 2.1 million coins.
