Look what two cents bought you in 1914!
A silver thimble! A steel tracing wheel! A full half pound of sealing wax! Today you can buy absolutely bupkis for $.02. Previously: the $125 typewriter from 1876.

Two cents will buy you someone else's unsolicited comment. But yeah...I guess you're right.
Bupkis.
dollar store! more correctly, the '99 cents' store, which now must advertise itself as a '99 cents and up' store.
I-)
This post is a good illustration of the concept of money illusion. Keep up the good work.
