I considered deleting the post, but this seems more cowardly than just admitting I was wrong. But TIL something!

Infinite $1 bills would be inherently less valuable just because who wants to carry that much cash around? Say, for instance, that you wanted to buy a $30,000 car with your new windfall. Would you rather show up with a stack of 300 $100 bills in your hand, or several wheelbarrows full of 30,000 $1 bills?

You don’t pay cash. You hire someone to deposit 100M in your bank account. You pay with your vip Amex.

You could still pay someone to deposit the $100 bills and it would take 1/100 the time to reach the same account balance

It would take less time, sure, but what do I care? I’m not doing the work, I pay someone to do it. With my infinite money.

So then you would have neither $1 bills nor $100 bills and none of this would apply to you

What are you on about? I use some of those unlimited bills to pay someone to put some more of those bills in a bank. I’ve still got unlimited $1s or $100s, I’ve just also got a large number in my bank account that I can use instead, and replenish when needed
