But of course, you can’t literally put 75 million in paper money under your mattress. What you really do is put it in the bank, where you’ll get 2% interest on that 75 million. .

It wouldn’t be smart but why couldn’t you put it in a checking account that pays no interest. Or buy a whole bunch of prepaid VISA cards. Keeping all the prepaid Visa Cards in a safe deposit box, just taking them out one at a time as needed.
