A non-silver Eisenhower silver dollar - large coin - weighs 1 ounce. At one time, a dollar was worth something. If you were to pay for a $35,000 new car and paid in Einsenhower would weigh 2,187 pounds, over a ton. A $65,000 vehicle paid for in silver dollars would weigh over 2 tons.

Something I ALWAYS wondered about LOL

Ever wondered about - most never thought of it - why it's so hot up there and not down here ??

Thermosphere

Between about 53 miles (85 km) and 375 miles (600 km) lies the thermosphere. This layer is known as the upper atmosphere. While still extremely thin, the gases of the thermosphere become increasingly denser as one descends toward the earth.

As such, incoming high energy ultraviolet and x-ray radiation from the sun begins to be absorbed by the molecules in this layer and causes a large temperature increase....

Because of this absorption, the temperature increases with height. From as low as -184°F (-120°C) at the bottom of this layer, temperatures can reach as high as 3,600°F (2,000°C) near the top.

And here you are posting ignorant garbage yet again!
$35,000 / 2,187 = $16.00 per pound, or $1.00 per ounce
$65,000 / 4,400 = $14.77 per pound, or $0.92 per ounce

Your logic is completely wrong. Here is why -
The price is silver in 1971 was actually $1.60, not $1.00 per ounce
The price is silver today is $15.37, not $0.92 per ounce
That means that a $65,000 car today would be ($65,000 / $15.37 = 4,229 ounces or 264 lbs of silver

In addition, the Eisenhower dollar was either silver or copper/nickel CLAD (not pure silver)

Whatever your intent was with this post, everything you posted is total garbage.
It is an absolute failure.

So you couldn't read "non-silver Eisenhower silver dollar"in the OP and you don't know that a Eisenhower dollar coin has the purchasing power of $1.00. To buy a $65,000 car with dollar coins would take 65,000 one dollar coins - but that is too complicated for you. :roll:

Yet you used the term ‘silver dollars’.
Looks like you are too confused.
$1 in 1971 is equivalent to $6.39 in 2020.
Look it up, and you might learn something.
Therefor your logic is completely wrong.
Either way, you lose.

I used the words "non-sliver Eisenhower silver dollar" because the non-silver later ones are still silver because they are silver in appearance. The color of silver is not silver, it is gray.

A mercury dime with high silver content and a new dime with no silver are both worth 10 cents in a store or car dealership..
An old quarter with high silver content and a new quarter with no silver are both worth 25 cents in a store or car dealership.
An earlier Eisenhower dollar with high silver content, later Eisenhower dollar with no silver, and even a 99.9% silver American eagle dollar are all worth $1 in a store or at a car dealership.


You know that but never discuss with any intellectual integrity. The topic is inflation in relation to the decline of the value of coins, not the past and current price of silver.

Bull****. You provided no evidence of any inflation rates.
That is the proper way to discuss the power of money.
The weight of coins is very childish, which is not surprising from you.

You don't understand your own messages on the same thread. :roll:

It’s you.
I don’t write in a grandiose, bragging, and fictitious manner that incorporates massive amounts of bull****.
Hence, your confusion.
