You got it backwards. You have to get 100 dollars today and travel back in time to 1924 to get that 18X ROI

If you had $100 in 1924 it would actually be worth $100 today. It’s purchasing power would be much less though.

If you hold it in currency it’s a 1/18th return.

If you had $100 in 1924 and put that under the you mattress, you starved your family thru the depression and in 2024, you still have $100 under the mattress

Don’t forget that 100 dollars had to go through the great depression… When they were worth basically nothing.

If your ancestor had 100 USD in silver Peace Dollars, they would be worth 2260 USD in silver today. The numismatic value would be much higher.
