    Based on my (probably wrong) math, either a penny or, like a 2 cent coin (those existed at some point, right?).

    So the ratio of old money to new money is approximately .25 to 4.50, which means that the value of money has shrunk by a factor of about 18.

    25 cents over 18 yields ~1.38 cents.

    So if he took a penny, cut it into thirds, taped one of those thirds to another penny, and was able to flip that unbalanced mess, you could say he’d lost a modern quarter’s worth of value.





  • I don’t think so. But I think that that’s going to vary a lot based on how you want to measure “badness for the climate”.

    My instinct is to look at Feed to Gain Ratio, which is the measure of food eaten to weight gained. This will vary animal to animal based on the animal’s purpose (meat cows vs dairy cows, meat lambs vs wool sheep, etc) and the type of food they’re fed.

    Still, there are reliable bands for estimating for each animal. According to This Article, it looks like sheep can fall into a 4:1 to 6:1 ratio while cows are closer to 12:1 (this is a bit higher than I was taught in high school biology, but not by much). Of course, the higher these numbers, the “worse” the animal is for the environment.
