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

You likely can see the point I’m making now; there are just as many $1 bills as there are $100 bills, but each $100 bill is worth more.

But the monetary value of the bills in each stack still adds up to infinity for both. It's like having an uncapped Internet connection at 56 KBit/s versus 100 MBit/s: You can download all the things with both, but that alone doesn't make them equal.
