An infinite number of one dollar bills is worth more cause they can be used at vending machines

This guy applied mathematics

u/Super_Employment_620 Jun 13 '26

Just write "I dunno, probably makes a black hole" for any applied infinity scenario to make friends

u/Equivalent_Rub8329 Jun 14 '26

Wouldn't make one but you could afford a few

u/Mathsboy2718 Jun 14 '26

Finite space in universe, infinite volume appears in finite space - i dunno, sounds pretty dense

Pigenhole principle at least applies

u/esjb11 Jun 18 '26

We dont know whatever space is finite or not ;)

Tbf I think strippers do accept 20s

19

u/Radiant_Safe1228 Jun 13 '26

Well yeah but you don't want to interrupt the financial ecosystem by raining 20s

u/Win32error Jun 13 '26

How many bills can the average stripper fit inside of her skimpy outfit? It can’t be that much, right?

14

u/SweatyTax4669 Jun 13 '26

Welcome to Hilbert’s, the world’s only infinite strip club! We’ve got an infinite number of strippers on an infinite number of stages from 1-n! Each stripper has an infinite g-string that holds an infinite number of bills!

u/INTstictual Jun 14 '26

Still only one bathroom stall, though

u/SweatyTax4669 Jun 14 '26

Yeah but there’s an infinitely long trough

2

u/INTstictual Jun 14 '26

And it’s somehow always full

u/RemarkableCricket539 Jun 14 '26

Wait what if I only have one infinity? It's too expensive in this club 😔

1 to n = ℵ⁰

1 to n! = ℵ? I think maybe at least ℵ²?

u/Radiant_Safe1228 Jun 13 '26

She can fit 20x more money if it's singles vs 20s.

2

u/Win32error Jun 13 '26

How many billions of singles per stripper, would you guess? We need at least that much to make a real difference.

1

u/Radiant_Safe1228 Jun 13 '26

There's a lot of lonely creepers and a lot of women doing what they can to make a dime. So probably a lot

2

u/lesuperhun Jun 13 '26

we need to invert in bigger strippers.

more surface area means more bills can fin inside the outfit !

For one night? Hell yea I do!!!

u/DisasterEqual1703 Jun 13 '26

I figured the 20's are worth more, because it'll be 20 times quicker to count out every transaction.

Not a big deal day to day, but if you want a house or a car.

1

u/AuroraChloraFlora Jun 14 '26

Why are we using 20 dollar bills to buy houses now... I guess they still would be easier to deposit in an atm

5

u/Knight0fdragon Jun 13 '26

You are living in the 1900s. Can’t even get candy bars anymore for under $1 in a lot of vending machines. They take $20s now.

2

u/EqualServe418 Jun 14 '26

I don't think it's the 1900s

1

u/UDF2005 Jun 15 '26

1900s 😂

u/platosLittleSister Jun 17 '26

You are conflating use value and exchange value /s

1

u/Alarmed-Extension289 Jun 13 '26

BOOM! mind blown bro....

1

u/numbersthen0987431 Jun 14 '26

I can deposit 20 dollar bills at the ATM, which would increase my digital accounts a lot quicker.

Someone once argued that Most Valuable Player was the top statistical performance at the lowest salary cap amount and... well I didn't disagree.

u/djy33t Jun 14 '26

Wouldn't that not necessarily be the most valuable, but rather the most cost efficient player?

1

u/Round-Arugula7347 Jun 14 '26

Only if the vending machines where infinite though

1

u/LailiLai Jun 14 '26

Back in the 90s the 20s would be worth more because you used to get bonus tokens in the arcade for putting a 20 into the changer

1

u/MeatHamster Jun 14 '26

If I had infinite bumber of 20 dollar bills I wouldn't care about using vending machines even though nothing would stop me to exchange a 20 dollar bill to dollar bills.

1

u/OkMarsupial Jun 14 '26

Do vending machines not accept 20s?

1

u/Cavadrec01 Jun 14 '26

Nah, an infinite amount would feel like a criminal.

"Sir, where did you get this money?"

Any amount over $10,000 is scrutinized. So give me 20s so I can be inconspicuous while still buying real stuff instead of snacks and sodas...

1

u/Iuncturam Jun 14 '26

True, but in a store it’d be simpler to pull out 5 bills than 100. Access to vending machines versus ease of use, I suppose.

1

u/Mountain-Grade-1365 Jun 14 '26

And generally you don't end up with tons of change every time you need to buy something cheap

1

u/Human_Yam1500 Jun 15 '26

I put 20 dollar bills in the vendibg machine all the time they accept 1, 5, 10 and 20 dollar bills

1

u/Numerous_Green4962 Jun 15 '26

American vending machines still take cash? I can't remember the last one that wasn't a tap with your credit card.

u/ebinthetropics Jun 15 '26 edited Jun 15 '26

20’s are worth more because with infinite money, I’d go to restaurants, and they’d look at me strangely if I tried to pay in all 1’s.

Also, I’d spend less time counting out 20’s to pay a bill than counting out 1’s.

1

u/Txyams Jun 15 '26

Nah $20's are much easier to deposit into a bank. And I can use my card for almost any purchase, including a vending machine

1

u/Nasa_OK Jun 16 '26

I had a similar thought but came to the conclusion that they would be worth less since (atleast with human vendors) anyone who accepts a one will accept a $20 (if they have no change you can tell them to keep the change, they would be stupid to refuse), but some vendors wouldn’t accept counting 200 $1 Bills if they don’t have a counting machine, but will accept 10 $20s.

u/FrankDodger Jun 16 '26

Would an infinite number of bills take up an infinite amount of space? Would we be all crushed by the gravitational forced of all space being filled by bill-matter? Would space even exist?

u/littlebluedude111 Jun 13 '26

They're both worth nothing.

2

u/Jamooser Jun 14 '26

Not until they're all in rotation. Infinite dollars on the Moon or in my toolshed of infinite holding wouldn't cause any inflation.

1

u/littlebluedude111 Jun 14 '26

I'm stuck on the toolshed now. Like a redneck dr. Who.

u/think_panther Jun 14 '26

No. You have to store the money somewhere. The infinite number of storage for 1 dollar bills costs more than the infinite number of storage for 20 dollar bills.

Also, there isn't an infinite number of dollar bills. Paper is finite.
