<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 26444166, member: 101855&quot;]The price of gold has little relation to the price of everything else. Back when the $20 gold piece was used in the economy, the price of gold was about $20 an ounce according to the weight of the gold piece ($20.57 to be exact.). Of course the bread winner for the family was only getting $10 to $20 a week, so the price of everything else reflected that. </p><p><br /></p><p>People like to point to the fact that Henry Ford got the price of a new car down to $290. The trouble is, how long did it take to earn the $290? Much longer than it does today.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
