<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2426382, member: 19250&quot;]Well just did a little research&nbsp; and during&nbsp; the spring and summer&nbsp; of 1943 a bank teller was paid between .90-$1.00 @ hour.&nbsp; That&#039;s&nbsp;&nbsp; $40.00 @ week.</p><p>Since we lived in a city of a higher population&nbsp; and dad worked for the Fed&#039;s I&#039;ll&nbsp; go with the salary of a $1 @ hour gross with no with holdings.</p><p>Now understand&nbsp; at an inflation&nbsp; rate of 3.68% a $40.00 per week salary&nbsp; is equal to $559.82 in 2016 dollars per week.&nbsp; That comes to $13.995 @ hour&nbsp; or&nbsp; $ 29,110.64 per year in 2016 dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p>What&#039;s is clear is dad had to work 2 hours&nbsp; to afford&nbsp; the roll of unc. 1943 P nickels.</p><p>And that makes it crystal&nbsp; clear&nbsp; why he couldn&#039;t&nbsp; afford&nbsp; to pull the trigger&nbsp; that often&nbsp; as he had a wife and family&nbsp; to support .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
