What value is a dollar from 1882 now?

The value of a dollar from 1882-1971 is one dollar. From 1972-Now, the dollar's value is plummeting. That's because the Gov. adds more and more money to the U.S. economy. It's like adding water to juice. The water is the money that the Gov. is adding to the U.S. economy, and the money that the people already have is the juice. The more water you add, the less taste the juice has, eventhough you now got a lot of liquid for you to drink. So it makes the juice, or dollar, weak. Right now, the actuall value of the dollar is around two cents.

What effects does inflation have on the purchasing power of the dollar?

If inflation occurs, the value of the dollar will decrease. This is because the amount of goods that the dollar can buy now becomes less. Inflation is measured by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. They take a "basket" of goods and record the prices of each of the goods. The basket contains items such as food and clothes that all consumers would purchase. This is then transformed in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). This is how you are able to see how much a dollar is worth compared to other years.
