Why accept the head when you can have the whole cow?

            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: ~20in3)

              Head of Cattle:
              Height: 62.2”-67.3”
              Width: 23.6”-25.6”
              Length: 93”-98”
