Hi, I'm on the wrong computer so I don't have the URL, but there is a
goverment website which deals with such information. Also, look at the book
"The Value of A Dollar." The most recent edition was 2000 or 2001.

If you email me at home, I'll send you the URL later when I'm on that
computer. [log in to unmask]
