10x10x10x10 = $10,000

Imagine what fun it will be if the Treasury agrees with Your idea, but issues only $1 bills and coins.

You pay four 0.10 coins for a total of
0.10 x 0.10 x 0.10 x 0.10 = $0.0001,
or better You pay 10,000 $1 bills for a total of
1 x 1 x 1 x ... x 1 = $1!

Pleasant driving Your new car!
