Which would have been ~$11.21 in 1950!

Reminds me of what I heard a preacher say, "You can *still* buy four gallons of gasoline
for a dollar, just like you could in the fifties." The difference is in the dollar - not
the price of gasoline. In the fifties we had *silver* dollars and today a *silver*
dollar will still get you four gallons of gas.

Not only is someone stealing the silver out of our currency. They are removing the nickel
from the "nickels" and the copper from the pennies. If we still had half cents they'd be
stealing something out of them! :-(
