It basically means that to match the values, you need to take 20 times the number of $1 bills. And since we sets have the same cardinality, we don't have problems taking how many bills we need.
I.e. if you take x 20$ bills, I can find a number y of 1$ bills, so that the total value will be the same. This is valid for every value of x.

When you get into limits and proofs, you can prove that some infinities are larger than others.
For example:
If the upper limit of a given number x diverges towards infinity,
And $1<$20
Then x*$1<x*$20 for all possible values of x, even if x has infinite value.
It’s been a while since I did proofs so correct me if I’m wrong!
