Not how inflation works. He still is 50 Cent, his value just dropped.
Yeah exactly. At birth, his value in today's money is about $3.10. assuming he is still $0.50, his purchasing power has dropped by more than 80%
Well if you ask a coin collector a coins rarity effects it's value greatly. Being 50 Cent is the only half dollar stamped with 1975, that explains why he is now worth so much.
Well, yeah, but then you are talking about the non-fungability tied to his distinct features, not his transactional value.
You didn't think it was cool at all that no half dollars were minted with 1975 on them? Sheesh... I really am a dork
I thought it was cool, thanks for teaching me an interesting fact!
