Manhattan


Okay, not even I can completely wrap my mind around this. In 1626, a man named Peter Minuit purchased the entire island of Manhattan from the Algonquin indian tribes with trinkets that were worth 60 Dutch Gilders. That's calculated to be worth, say... $24 dollars.
Now you can't even fill up a tank of gas for that much!
