A quarter from this time is worth $4.33 in melt value alone now. So a .15 burger is 3/5 of that or $2.60. Current price is $1.58, to be fair there not as good as original tho. That means the $2,60 of your melted quarter gets you 1.64 current burgers.
Huh.

There are other aspects to this. The McDonalds of today is far more efficient WRT labor costs per sandwich, revenue per square foot, beef production is more efficient, etc. If the McDonalds in the picture were operating today, that Burger just might cost around $2.60 as you calculated.
