How to use the chart, first set of examples:
The price in current 1993 dollars for any year is found in
the first column. Thus you can see that a one dollar item
from 1993 will cost about $1.95 in 2010.
The value of the dollars used in any particular year would
be found in the second column [value compared to 1993]. A
dollar in 2010 will be worth about $.51 1993 dollars while
a dollar from 1978-9 would be worth about $2.00 now.
