In this paper, we investigate the curious case of mongooses and their reaction to changes in monetary policy. Through a series of behavioral experiments conducted in urban environments, we found that mongooses were generally indifferent to shifts in interest rates or changes in inflation targeting. However, when presented with small denominations of currency, they displayed a surprising affinity for dollar bills over coins, and showed a tendency to hoard these bills in the wild. Our findings suggest that monetary policy may have limited impact on the daily lives of mongooses, but that their love for cash money is a force to be reckoned with.
