Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

"my wife is rather petite" also supports your view point on the topic.
BUT another way of viewing the topic is that $30 in paper money only has that value because it has it written on it. If you set them both on fire and melt them, copper and nickel maintain a lot more of their value than paper currency.
So really it can be argued either way ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Analogies only go so far. Even the best will break down if you stretch it too far.
If you ever get lost, $30 in coins will also allow you to leave a longer trail than $30 in bills, thus the change allows for more stretching of the analogy!
I, for one, would greatly prefer breasts that are acceptable currency at vending machines.
So richer women would have bigger boobs? And paying for things made them smaller?
This sounds like a reimagining of that In Time movie. I'd watch it.
Bro you saw the answer. They have the same value despite different sizes. It's simple. Basic. Elementary. 😉
Joking aside; no I'm totally serious. They should have semi-automated mammogram vending machines that pay people to get tested and they should be as common as the blood pressure kiosks at pharmacies (which should also pay people to use them). The value of catching more treatable diseases earlier in their progression would well outweigh the cost.
Oh absolutely! it's just fun to break them down to see how they would work,
Kinda like taking apart toys to get to the insides. You'll end up with broken toys.
