Are we, uh...taking this at face value or monkey pawing it? Cause some of those seem great on the surface, though one small twist and that shit becomes a curse.

At least 20 dollars is 20 dollars, worst thing that can happen is it's fake money and not really 20 dollars.

One of your loved ones gets in a horrible accident and the 20 dollars is the insurance payout (straight from the original monkey's paw story)

That's how you get turned into 20 dollars

You try to cash in the $20 but it's fake and the store owner calls the police on you and the police chokes you to death for it despite your pleas for air.

It can be printed by the Federal Reserve and 100% authentic but that ain't gonna stop it from being literally fake.

That is true, at the end of the day it is just paper, and if inflation gets bad enough and the US dollar becomes worthless, then that's all it is, just look at what happened with Venezuela's money, it's basically worth nothing now.

It's not paper. It's magic Talisman. That's not money. It's fucking trick.
