At the rate of inflation, by 2030 the $20 will not even be around. The folks left will be using fifties in the manner we now use fives.
I know, they tell us inflation is under control.
Yeah. I also know what things costs 10 years ago, 20 years ago and so on.

$20 today has the same buying power as $1.86 when I was born in 1947.

By the time I graduated from high school in 1965, it would take $2.65 to buy what takes $20 today.

By 2030, all transactions will be measured in the newly issued, gold backed Chinese Yuan.
