($1 back then was about $20 now, a substantial amount of money The expression "I'd bet dollars to donuts" meant being very confident, willing to bet at 20:1 odds, because a donut cost a nickel Now that a donut *does* cost a dollar this expression makes no sense)

I always find it interesting to see old movies or read books where characters are eager to get their hands on a sum of money that, today, seems pretty small but back then was huge (and yes, I get that's how money works, but I still find it interesting).
