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.

[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I was talking about deflation.

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: ~20in^3^)

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.

Thanks for doing the math!

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