Yeah, EC map should be looking like it did back in 1972 but doesn't.
$1 in 1912 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $32.51 today, an increase of $31.51 over 112 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 3.16% per year between 1912 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 3,150.53%.
It's called FIAT.
