Well, you're almost correct, $500 in 1945 dollars is worth about 50
cents today. If you did have a 1945 McKinley, it'd still
theoretically be worth face value, but probably worth more as a
collectors item.

Naw, that's backwards! What it really means is it would take
$5,759.50 in 2007 to buy what $500 dollars would buy back in 1945. If
you still had that $500 bill, it would only buy you $57.59 worth of
what you could buy with it in 1945. Or, to put it in 2008 terms,
about half a tank of gas. ;)
If you use the $31K GDP figure, the $500 would only buy you 1/62 of
it's original value. About $8. Er, I mean, two gallons of gas.
