If you had $20 in 1925, you could pay 1 month’s rent. If you had an ounce of gold in 1925 you could pay 1 month’s rent. If you have $20 in 2025, you can pay 1/87th of one month’s rent. If you have an ounce of gold you can pay 2 months rent. That means: - Dollar has lost 99.5% when valued in gold - One dollar buys 1/200th of what it did 100 years ago A rock. That did nothing. And actually inflated in supply.
