Talk:Petty cash
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Justification for "several thousand dollars"
In the film "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead, there is $3,000 available in petty cash. As the movie takes place in 1990, that would be ~$5000 in 2006 real dollars. This is based on the April 1990 consumer price index of 128.9 and an August 2006 CPI of 203.9. [1] [2] samwaltz 20:55, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
