With your $100 today, you could buy 0.00081664 ounces of gold. Take that back in time to 1920 when gold was $20.68 per ounce and you'd turn that $100 into a shiny $0.016888112 or about a penny and a half.

I would take the $100 to 1920 and buy what I could of profitable acreage.
My first thought was:Hurricane2k9 wrote:
Or just a cell phone.
What a stupid idea. There are no cell towers in 1920, so it wouldn't be worth anything.
Then I thought oh wait, cell phones do so much now. Like a mini-computer. That idea is genius.
Then I thought oh wait, the really cool phones are more than $100, so a cheapo phone would probably just be considered a simple parlor trick and ignored... or get you shot as an alien. lol
But what if you could sell it to someone who could reverse engineer it and advance tech by nearly 100 years.
But they probably couldn't understand it, since they wouldn't have the tools developed for that yet.
If they could, they would have just weaponized it for WWII anyway. Probably resulting in death rays and disintegration beams by the 50s. And then there would radioactive accidents leading to 50 foot tall ants or something. Then actual aliens would come down and threaten to destroy the earth if we ever developed space travel.
lol
Regardless, that statement made me think a lot, and I ended up appreciating it. +1
It really is an interesting and fun question.
