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.
