Impact of 5% Annual Currency Debasement Since 1971
If a $100 bill had been exposed to a consistent 5% annual loss in purchasing power from 1971 to today (54 years):

• 1971 Value: $100

• Today’s Purchasing Power: ≈ $6.27

That means 93.7% of its original value has been destroyed. Put another way, what $100 bought in 1971 would require about $1,594 today to match the same purchasing power.
