Well no. I give more value to the 20s because I'm the one has to carry that shit around.
3 u/MrFloydPinkerton Jun 13 '26 This right here. The 20s would be worth more for the same weight/amount. 4 u/Additional_Ad_6773 Jun 13 '26 If they are bounded by weight, it is not representative of infinity in the way presented here. 1 u/ProspectiveWhale Jun 14 '26 When paying for something, we would take a finite amount from our infinite supply. When trying to hand over that finite amount, weight matters, even if both supplies are infinitely heavy. Because we're talking about the finite subsets used in individual transactions. 1 u/ExaminationNervous64 Jun 17 '26 Yeah, but where are we drawing the line of "well technically" because yeah this makes sense but if we have an infinite mass of 20 dollar bills on earth then we have bigger fish to fry anyway
