nano century = 100 * 365.25 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1e-9 = 3.15576
(nano century - π)/π = 0.45%
So a nano century is equal to π seconds within half a percent which is more than good enough for casual uses as an approximation.

But when you're having fun with pi, you generally measure similarity in terms of being accurate to some number of decimal places, and this statistic is accurate to an unimpressive one place (3.1).
