I'm curious about the 19th vs the 20th.

One dollar invested in bonds in 1801 would yield $13,975 today.
One dollar invested in stocks in 1801 would be worth $8.8 million today.
One dollar invested in gold in 1801 would be worth $14 today.
One normalized dollar? If you had one dollar in 1913, it's worth one penny today.
