<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 2488113, member: 1765&quot;]Well, since we&#039;re nitpicking, the text of the image is worded awkwardly.&nbsp; The Peace dollar wasn&#039;t the <i>last</i> US dollar made from 1921 to 1935, it was the <i>only</i> US dollar made from 1921 to 1935.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, based on today&#039;s dollar buying a half dozen eggs, the purchasing power of a Peace dollar is put at $26, which means silver was close to $34/oz. when this was made.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to look at purchasing power, I&#039;m not sure when gasoline was 17c/gallon, but an equally depressing comparison is that with one of today&#039;s dollars, you can almost pay the federal excise tax on 6 gallons of gasoline.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
