Why accept the head when you can have the whole cow?

    Redundant. The second two are already larger than a twenty dollar bill.

      Unless hyper-deflation makes $20 worth more? We still got the better part of 4 more years. Anything can happen.

        I don’t think inflation will make the $20 will have larger dimensions.

            deflation wont make the 20 dollar bill any larger or heavier either. Imagine the kind of wallets we’d need!

            Well, they’re already 2-D, so I’m not sure how much smaller they can get.

              I don’t quite follow. I meant that a decrease in the money supply can create a situation in which a dollar can buy more goods and services than before

                We don’t accept bills larger than $20, gold bars or heads of cattle for payment. [emphasis added]

                $20 < gold bar < head of cattle

                Redundant. The second two are already larger than a twenty dollar bill.

                The dimensions of a dollar bill are
                6.14 inches in length and
                2.61 inches in width along with a
                thickness of 0.0043 inches.

                Size of a standard gold bar:
                7 inches ×
                3⅝ inches ×
                1¾ inches

                (Cow head, lol: ~20in3)

                Head of Cattle:
                Height: 62.2”-67.3”
                Width: 23.6”-25.6”
                Length: 93”-98”





                Edit: Hopefully my joke is funny now. I heard if you’ve got to explain it, then it’s even more funny.
