Actually, didn't a lot of kids' spare change go toward funding the pedestal for the Statue of Liberty?

That $0.05 in 1905 is worth $1.03 today. Just try to imagine an arts group - much less the DAR - asking all school children to donate $1 for a statue.

And that $8,000 statue? That would run $164,188.56 today.

And that's just consumer price index inflation, not counting the run on art prices.
