Does anyone know the break down of how many slips of gold press latinum is equal to a bar? Also, how much is a bar really worth? I mean, how many bars would you need to be considered rich, or what does one equate to today's money?

I really, really doubt they came up with any sort of conversion chart. Especially since half the time they were buying things that have no equivalent today (such as Self-Sealing Stem Bolts).

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

So is watching Cheers the equivalent of hard-core pornography for you, Jeff?

Thing is - Bars in the early seasons used to be the 'standard' and then we get strips then slips which were less and having BARS was like being pretty well off... and then we got BRICKS.
I think we first heard of "slips" in Family Business - didn't we?
Bricks might have reared their head in "Business as Usual"? slips < strips < bars < bricks
