I’m not sure if this is of any interest, but I ran into it and thought it may be a fun site to include in your PCIN newsletter. It allows you to enter a year and an amount of money and tells you how much money that would be worth by today’s standards. It also allows you to compare two arbitrary years.

From the site:
“Comparing the purchasing power of money in the United States (or colonies) from 1665 to 2003.”
