chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 09/04/2015 7:59 pm According to the US Dept of Labor inflation calculator $1200 in 1944 is equal to $16270 today. Perhaps she was buying a house? Cool photo. Report this Post to the Staff
Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 09/04/2015 8:02 pm Not sure how old this Treasury Vault Photo is, but the 2 center boxes on the top shelf are 4,000 Note case's of $10,000.00 Gold Certificates--- with a face value of 40 Million Dollars per Box/Case.. The center box on the bottom shelf are $500.00 Gold Certificates.. I had taken these photos from my laptop screen with my camera, then loaded & cropped them... I have no idea if the photos I had taken are copyrighted or not, I just thought they were awesome as most are Gold Certificates... One of the photos showed a large Calendar displaying November 1914... Edited by Broken-Coin 09/05/2015 12:32 am Report this Post to the Staff
