I came to a similar conclusion from the greentext. Big and small are valuable but one is more convenient to carry around with you (due to the mass).

E: I think I see the tumblr users' confusion here... the sentence

Suppose you had $30 in coins as well, which would have greater mass?

can be interpreted like a semicolon or separate sentence...

Suppose you had $30 in coins as well. Which would have greater mass?

or as a extension describing the object...

Suppose you had $30 in coins which would have greater mass as well?

Some might have taken the latter interpretation which makes the rest of the story incomprehensible.
