$50,000 in 1897 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $1,546,740.96 in 2019, a difference of $1,496,740.96 over 122 years.

At some point, I have to ask, Jeff of Pa...

How many of these articles do you have. How many have you posted. where do you get them all, and finally... do you ever have time to go hunt with all the posts :tongue3:

(Side note: 50k in 1897 would be a nice bit of change, but your privilege would be so high and you'd be easily exposed to a lot more)

AND....

It sure beats hiding things like change and pull tabs under things like carpets and pillows and walking around the house pretending to detect.
