The Death of the Dollar

I found this great article on The American Thinker website by Vasko Kohlmayer

 

excerpt: "In 1913, five dollars could get you the following:

 

15 pounds of potatoes, 10 pounds of flour, 5 pounds of sugar, 5 pounds of chuck roast, 3 pounds of round steak, 3 pounds of rice, 2 pounds each of cheese and bacon, and a pound each of butter and coffee ... two loaves of bread, 4 quarts of milk and a dozen eggs."
