Prior to '82, US pennies were made of copper, much more valuable today per weight than 1 cent. Now they are zinc, but zinc will be worth more than 1 cent per penny weight soon.

Back in the early fifties you could buy a good dinner in a family resteraunt for an ounce of silver. You can do so today.

Back in the days of the twenty dollar gold piece(1 oz. of gold) you could buy a good suit of clothes or a fine weapon. You can still do so today.

It is amazing how the buying power of gold and silver has remained remarkably constant.
