What's that a quote from? I'd just Google, but you changed a word or two, I think.

I doubt Silas was thinking of this, but it reminded me of SNL's "First Citiwide Change Bank" commercial.

I just made it up, trying to be silly. It's just an application of the standard "low margin, make it up on volume". It barely even makes sense as a joke, since the idea is actually sound (or at least not unsound on its face). If you can go any amount into the past, then you could, it seems, stack the process so that you go as far as you want into the past.
