It would be worth 500 dollars because the amount of money never changes over time. The purchasing power of a US dollar now is about 10-12% of its purchasing power in 1956. The easy way to determine this is with an inflation calculator that is based on changes in the CPI. I recommend http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl

How much purchasing power of a dollar do you lose over 10 years with inflation at 1 percent each year?
Note that the actual inflation is probably more than that. Wikipedia ("United States dollar" article) lists an inflation of 2.16%, as of October 2012. This can best be solved by converting the percentage to a factor: 1% a year means that prices increase by a factor of 1.01 a year. In 10 years, that would be a factor of 1.0110, or 1.1046. Your dollar loses value by the same factor: 1 future dollar becomes the equivalent of 1 / 1.1046 = 0.905 current dollars. In other words, you lose about 9.5% of your purchasing powers.

This is nearly impossible to answer for a few reasons. First, it is impossible to accurately give a nominal answer because of different purchasing power, for example, a couple trillion Zimbabwe dollars are equal in purchasing power to about $3 US.

For example, there have been several issues of coins that were made but immediately melted down (such as the 1964 Peace Dollar) And finally, a lot of money is electronic and there's no accurate total of that.
