: how much was a dollar worth

Why: We are watching True Grit. They are making deals.

Answer: Here is a guide to currency in the movie:
  • $1 in 1877 = $21.10 today (2009)
  • $20 then = $423 today
  • $50 then = $1060 today
  • $100 then = $2110 today
  • $200 then = $4230 today
  • $300 then = $6340 today
  • $320 then = $6760 today
  • $325 then = $6870 today
That seems steep for ponies and a saddle.
