A silver dime is worth just shy of 3 bucks right now. roughly. That might get you around one pound of grapes I think. Or two hershey chocolate bars.

My earliest memory is of buying a one pint milk carton for four pennies at the school lunch room.

Working at a gas station after WW-II, I was washing windows, checking oil, and pumping gas at 25 cents a gallon.
