Give me additional examples of values with infinite significant figures.

According to our handouts, here is one of the examples: 3000 chocolate Bars which are considered countable numbers.

Moreover, the final zeroes in a whole number are significant IF the unit of quantity is measurable like mass, temperature, length, current etc. Therefore, even the trailing numbers are counted as significant.
