Neither is bigger. Even "โˆž x โˆž" is not bigger than "โˆž". Classical mathematics sort of break down in the realm of infinity.

Yeah, we can still however analyze the statement f(x)=100x$/1x$ lim(x->inf) and clearly come to the conclusion that as the number of bills x approaches infinity will be equal to 100.

However, limes exists as a tool to avoid infinities and this exact problem when using calculus for practical applications - and as such it doesn't apply here.

Mathematically speaking, they should be converted to lemonade.
