If I only had a dollar

National Dollar Day (8/8)

The day when the USA printed the first dollar in 1862.
What would a dollar buy back then?
10 pounds of coffee, 5 dozen eggs, a work shirt or about 5 gallons of whiskey.
BUT…
You only made a dollar a day, so there’s THAT too.
Some people do terrible things for money.
Like go to work early…on a weekend!
