Dollar Has Lost 1488 Percent Value Over 100 Years

The US Dollar has lost nearly 1500% of its value, about 1,488%, over the last 97 years.  According to in2013dollars.com:

$1 in 1925 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $15.88 today, an increase of $14.88 over 97 years.

If that statement doesn’t make you realize that you need to accumulate wealth and savings in something other than the dollar, I don’t know what will.
