You could go to a bar, shoot some pool, party down and come home with change. You could go out for dinner, go to a movie, buy at the concession stand, stop off at the bar afterwards, have a few drinks and come home with change. You could pay your monthly utility bill. Just a few examples.Comment

In the 50's my mother spend $20 a week on groceries to feed a family of 6. Chocolate bars were 10 cents. Penny candy was anywhere from 3-10 pieces for a penny. Milk men delivered gallons of milk for $1.00 and a loaf of bread was about 18 cents.Comment

What cost $10 in 1958 would cost $70.96 in 2007.
Also, if you were to buy exactly the same products in 2007 and 1958,
they would cost you $10 and $1.41 respectively.

That is not nearly as important as knowing, "How much was $10 in 1938?" Now there is a REAL question.Comment

A guess would be ~$100 across the board but some things are way cheaper and some more expensive even if you x it by 10.

This thread reminds me of why the fiat banking system sucks. Currency inflation is the unkindest tax of all.Comment

With a fiat money system the central bankers control how much your dollar is worth. They manipulate what they call the inflation rate when in reality the inflation rate is much higher. Just google "inflation tax".
