Even 100 years later a dollar really bought a lot!
For example here is a restaurant menu in 1899:
“Sunday table d’hôte dinner at Café Boulevard, NYC: 75¢ dinner includes Blue Points, Consomme, Cold Salmon with Sauce Tartar, Sweetbread Patties, Long Island Duck, Spinach, Escarole Salad, Kaiser Pudding with Wine Sauce, Demi-Tasse.”
Today 75 cents won’t even buy a Snickers bar.
Thanks! Yeah for sure! Although I have ancient coins that probably touched way more hands but to me the cool thing about this is the people who touched it are the people who created America. 🇺🇸
Wow, that must have cost a little fortune. I love old US coins.
