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.
