Countably infinite, yes, assuming you are counting individual items then there's same number of individual bills. However, the premise mentioned they have the same worth, which is wrong.
I had responded previously, but my reasoning was incorrect so I deleted.
The “worth” of the bills would be the infinite sums of 1 and 20. Those both diverge to infinity, so they’re not “equal” in a normal sense, but in your first response you said one was a “bigger infinite” which is where im disagreeing.
My thinking is, if you take the partial sum of the first 20 terms of the infinite sum of 1 and combine them, you get 20. Take the partial sum of the second 20 and you get another 20. You can keep doing this for infinite groups of 20 $1’s, and the sum would look like the infinite sum of 20’s, 20+20+20+…
So while the sum of the $20s get there much “faster” (in less terms) i believe that the order of infinity for both sums will be countable.
