Remember when a 1 oz. gold piece, worth about $20 bucks during the gold
rush, would buy a nice suit?

Guess, what? That same 1 oz. of gold would still buy a nice suit today!
-- Does that tell you anything? grin

I mean, ever hear of the term, "Being hit over the head with a frying
pan?" ROFLOL

That, and you have to ask yourself the question, "What am I doing with
these dollars stuck in a bank, while they start up the presses to print
a trillion(s) worthless bucks?

How much value will the dollar lose?; And, will I be able to fit enough
dollars in a wheelbarrow to buy a suit? :-(

4500% inflation?

No, about 5.5 percent. Gold hasn't been at $20/oz since the mid 1930's.

I didn't say per year. 4500% inflation is what has happened
to this country during my lifetime. Bush 43 is one of the
worst offenders and "we ain't seen nothing yet".

I suspect if they were all still in silver certificates,
you might not be in all that bad of shape.

Or, to summarize:

No, you didn't say 'per' anything. The word 'Inflation,' without any
qualifiers, implies 'per year.' Per your lifetime is an ambiguous
reference and more so since apparently you're not dead yet.

So, someone missed the implied meaning?

How about, "Accumulated inflation over the intervening years?"
