since the US BLS consumer price index for an urban consumer rose 15.36-fold over the period 1936 to March 2008, 17 cents in 1936 would be the rough equivalent of $2.61. Of course, the consumer price index is quite imperfect. But it may be the best measure we have. -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
