What would be the comparable buying power today of $1000 in 1891? That was a LOT of money back then.

From the end of the civil war until the eve of WWI - prices in the USA actually fell. Rising wages, greatly increased productivity, and falling prices meant the working man actually enjoyed a greatly increased purchasing power and standard of living.
We had real money back then (and limited government), because our currency was backed by gold, and could not be printed into existence or manipulated by politicians or central bankers.

Why spend $7.0M for $2500?
Does anyone else see what’s wrong here?

Who’s hand is that in the 1869 note? It does not look like it is attached to his body.

I know I read somewhere that the US printed a few legal tender bills with a pic of Santa Claus on the bill. Maybe in the 1930s. They were 500 or 1000 denominations,I think. Maybe some Freepers can chime in here....
