Back not too long ago, it was possible to go the store and get a whole bag of candy for a nickel, or a chocolate bar for a penny. But now that is no longer possible. Nowadays the price of everything is much higher than it used to be, which means that small amounts don’t go as far.

Now, penny poker would be played with dollar bills, penny candy could cost you a couple hundred pennies, and the five and dime is a “dollar store”. The value of money has dropped leaving everything more expensive. As source C states, “it takes nearly a dime today…
