Amazingly I searched her and she makes money from advising people by making YouTube videos. ON HOW TO CONTROL FINANCES.

She actually has a degree from the University of Minnesota.

For those who may be curious, $100 from 1913 is actually worth over $3000 today.

So...if I have a $100 bill in 1913, and I pass it down to my heirs, and then it continues to be passed down until Little Johnny gets it in 2023...and he takes it to Starbucks...he can’t buy a Venti Double Frappe Cappuccino?

You could not have a hundred dollar bill from 1913 as they did not exist until 1928.

Although there were $100 National Bank Note. A blue seal is more common but a red seal is really valuable. You are talking anywhere from a couple of thousands to WHEEEE Doggies!

BUT if you had ten $10 bills from 1913 and gave those to him they would be worth a couple of hundred dollars each so over $2000 in today's money. More if they were in good condition.

What was $3,000 of today’s dollars worth in 1913?

If I had to bet, I’d say someone had a conversation with this professor about value and inflation and somewhere along the line everything got reversed. Something like “Our dollar today is only worth 5 cents compared to 1913.” Which I think is more or less true. But somehow that got translated into “$100 value from 1913 wouldn’t buy a cup of coffee today.” Absolutely backwards.

I figured it was something like that.

I think a cup of coffee cost something like a nickel before WWI which means that $100 could buy maybe $2,000 cups of coffee?

But nevertheless even at today’s prices you can still get maybe 50 cups of coffee for $100 so she’s still full of it.

Yeah, it sounds like the $10x10 bills from 1913 wouldn’t be the ones you’d want to spend at Starbucks. I remember the silver certificates but I have no clue if I’ve ever seen a red seal. I doubt I have.

They probably would not accept them and call the cops about him passing counterfeit money.

Someone came into the store a couple of years ago with a bunch of silver certificates that his grandfather had left him.

I told him that he might want to take them to be appraised as they were worth a bit more then face value.

Gold was $20/oz in 1913. $100 would get you 5 $20 gold coins whose melt value would be nearly $10,000 today and numistic value is quite a lot more.

I took 1…ONE Econ class in college in 1983. If my professor ever heard anyone say something that stupid in class as the Gen z broad self described financial teacher he would first have roasted them. Second their grade would have been mysteriously lower than they expected.

Actually I did take and a post grad class in Econ as well now that I think about it. Different professor but he would have laughed at her as well.
