When I was a kid, gold was 35/oz. Seriously. Of course, gasoline was .20/gal. Minimum wage was $1.10. Gold mining was especially dangerous because of the dinosaurs.

ETA: I put dollar signs in front of the “35” and the “.20” --why did the bot remove them?? The dollar signs SHOW UP in the preview window, but disappear when I save.

ETA #2 test: 35 per ounce, .20 per gallon

ETA #3: I put dollar signs in ETA #2 – I thought maybe the bot didn’t like the slash. But the dollar sign was okay in “$1.10” What’s up with that?
