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
$20 < gold bar < head of cattle
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!
