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

    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.
