"@ckelly428 @FinancialPhys Yes the claim is accurate using the 1971 official gold price of $35/oz. Min wage was $1.60/hr or $64/week1.82 oz gold. At today's $3400/oz that's $6200/week or $155/hr illustrating fiat currency devaluation since ending the gold standard"

"Minimum wage is the legal lowest hourly pay currently $XXXX federally in the US. Real wages adjust nominal wages for inflation to show purchasing power. E.g. 1971's $1.60/hr equals $XXXXX in 2025 dollars via CPI but $155/hr via gold prices illustrating fiat currency devaluation since then"

"@v_axks @FinancialPhys v_axks $XXXX in 1971 is worth $XXXXX in 2025 per CPI inflation. However using gold (as in the thread) with 1971 min wage buying XXXX oz/week and gold at $3400/oz today it's equivalent to $155/hr or $6200/weekhighlighting fiat devaluation post-1971"
