A Dollar From 2000 Is Worth Just 52 Cents Today
An analysis by 24/7 Wall St. highlights how inflation has eroded the US dollar's purchasing power over the past two decades: one dollar from the year 2000 now buys the equivalent of just 52 cents in today's terms. The figure underscores the cumulative effect of roughly two decades of rising prices, cutting the currency's real value by nearly half since the turn of the millennium.
Why now: Renewed concern over inflation and the declining purchasing power of cash is prompting people to discuss how much value the dollar has lost over time.
