In 1909 the price of gold was under $20 an once and a twenty dollar gold coin had .96 of an once of gold. That same once of gold is now worth over $1000. So to put it in perspective, if in 1909 you had 20,000 (twenty thousand dollars) you would have the same buying power as someone with $1,000,000 (one million dollars) today.
