I wonder what a 1 oz gold coin would have set you back in those days?
Back when silver was $40 an oz, I’d pull out this roll of ten silver dollars and say, Back when we were in high school (early 70’s) you would put these in dollar slot machines. These were worth ten bucks. Back in 1920 they were worth ten bucks. Now they are worth $400. It’s not that they became so valuable. It is that the money (dollars) in which we measure their value have lost so much value.
It makes me sick.
