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

I'd rather have 100 dollar bills rather than 1 dollar bills.

Really depends on whether the infinite store will break hundreds for you.

It depends what worth entails - if it's just the monetary value then yeah they're the same, but if the worth also comes from desirability and convenience, then infinite stack of 100 dollar bills would be way more desirable when compared to 1 dollar bills.

Less space needed to carry the money around (assuming it's stored in some negative space and you just grab a bunch of bills when you wanna buy something), faster to take the bills for higher value items and easier to count as well.

Tbh I think this is correct. Not necessarily mathematically, idk maths, but realistically paying with infinite 100$ Bills is easier than with 1$ Bills. Therefore it saves time and so the .infinite 100$ Bills are worth more

Might just be me.
