In 1959, the value of a dollar was significantly higher than it is today due to inflation over the decades. According to the Consumer Price Index, a dollar in 1959 would be equivalent to approximately $10-11 today, reflecting the changes in purchasing power. This means that items that cost a dollar in 1959 would generally require ten times that amount now to purchase the same goods or services.
