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

        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.
