Why accept the head when you can have the whole cow?
Redundant. The second two are already larger than a twenty dollar bill.

Unless hyper-deflation makes $20 worth more? We still got the better part of 4 more years. Anything can happen.
I don’t think inflation will make the $20 will have larger dimensions.
I was talking about deflation.
deflation wont make the 20 dollar bill any larger or heavier either. Imagine the kind of wallets we'd need!
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
We don't accept bills larger than $20, gold bars or heads of cattle for payment. [emphasis added]
$20 < gold bar < head of cattle
Redundant. The second two are already larger than a twenty dollar bill.
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!
So they don't accept bills that are larger than the head of a cow. The heads themselves are a perfectly acceptable payment method.
Most of the people I know who are named "Bill" are larger than the head of a cow, though.
Good old Sweet Cow! Have not had them in a while
