Yes, yes, a character in SMBC did a trick with economics that Zach thought was clever but doesn't make much sense if you try to think about it. I agree that this instance is a little different because the trick is even less good because it requires the economic jokester not just to have dubiously applied some principle but also to be fabulously wealthy. Don't care.
What I do care enough to comment about is: is snatching a coin some sort of standard thing? For students of some other thing? I do not think I've heard of it.
