The average man&#039;s salary in 1955 was $3400 a <i>year</i>. That works out to just over $65 a week, $13 per working day (assuming you got weekends off).</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;If I had a time machine&quot; to go back and buy coins like those at face value, I&#039;d instead take enough money to hire a lawyer, set up a trust, and buy into the stock market. One trip could turn a thousand bucks into millions. A second trip could turn those millions into ownership of the planet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
