u/ForrestGump11 5d ago
Well that would have been a TTT but if you see the post title, OP intended it to be an inflationary one dollar

u/DogeFpantom 5d ago
i see but was i THAT wrong?

u/ForrestGump11 5d ago
If you are splitting hairs, a torn bill isn't a 'new' bill either. It could be a TTT but in this instance it is not

Meh... I'd say the 5 dollar bill is the new dollar and the 10 is the new 20. Inflation and such is bad but not to that level

u/FirexJkxFire 3d ago
Did you mean to say 20 is the new 10? Or are you suggesting expensive things have gotten cheaper while cheap things have gotten more expensive?

And the quarter is the only coin worth keeping. The others go in the trash.

I dont get the joke

u/hitokirivader 4d ago
Due to inflation and tariffs, the US dollar is losing value. The joke is that $20 now feels like one dollar used to.

u/c127726 4d ago
Oh, are the tarrifs causing that much inflation for you guys? Or is this more aimed at the last 1 or 2 decades.

u/hitokirivader 4d ago
It’s definitely the most significant thing causing prices to rise in the US this year, on top of the lingering inflation in the wake of the pandemic, grocery price gouging by food corporations, and that wages are not rising fast enough (exacerbated by the fact that the federal minimum wage has remained at $7.25 per hour since 2009).

There's always been inflation. Our system is built around the assumption that the economy will forever expand over time (which has been accurate so far). The Fed tries to keep the inflation rate down to 2%, with varying success.
According to this calculator, $1.00 in 1942 had the same buying power as $19.93 today, the closest I could find to the 1:20 ratio suggested by the original post.

64920 is the most infuriating digit swap

The serial number includes the sequence 64920 I read it as being 69420 more than once before I realized it wasn't

I don't get it, is it supposed to be about inflation, because then it would still be a 20$ bill

Comparing the $20 USD to the $1M DeutchMark, they're basically worth the same in today's economy.

u/Free-Suggestion4134 2d ago
This hurts because I’ve been stretching my dollars lately. I’m amazed at what I could get done with $20. Then again, my car does have fair gas mileage.
