In 1934, $5 had significantly more purchasing power than it does today. For example, it could buy a nice meal for a family at a restaurant, a pair of shoes, or several pounds of meat and groceries. In some areas, $5 might even cover a month's rent for a small apartment. Overall, it represented a substantial amount of money during the Great Depression era.
