I remember when, in 1973, gasoline pumps in the US had to be modified so that they would display prices of more than $9.99 to fill up a tank.

Here's another "worthless dollar" data point.

I remember this Mickey D's ad, from 71. The guy gets two burgers, fries, drink, and change back, from $1. If you mosey into Wendy's right now, you can get 2 Jr bacon cheesburgers, medium fries, and medium drink, for $8, and that is a smoking hot deal, for Wendy's, now.
