I just went down a research rabbit hole. From what I could dig up, in 1958: 50,000 (old) French francs were worth about $120, 500 Dutch guilders were worth about $130, 1000 British shillings (50 pounds) were worth about $140, and 50,000 Italian lire were worth about $80, for a total of about $470. This matches up reasonably well with the fact that the foreign currency appears to have contributed $457 to that player's final total. ($1934 trip + $457 foreign + $1000 US = $3391 displayed total) Francs were dropping by quite a bit at the time, and they only would have been worth about $100 in 1959, so that's probably where most of the difference is.
All those stacks of foreign currency were only worth $457 in 1958 money. I wonder if Mr. Maneri broke even tax-wise on that one... (edit: I subtracted 1000 + the trip's value from his final winnings shown at the end)
50,000 francs 500 guilders 1,000 schilling 50,000 lire And Bill Cullen gives him $1,000 cash. I wonder how much the foreign money is US currency. 16:38

It was really some likeable people back then. Ms. O'Brian was a real hoot.

Good luck
Can anyone tell me where I can find more tpir episodes.. my grandma was on the show on the dates of july 6th and 7th 1961...
I hope you find them 🙂
Wow that car would only be 57 years old lol and the other car is as of 2019 61 years old lol
LOL she is excited until she has to pay the luxury taxes
Back then the hairdresser was known as a confirmed bachelor. He wasn’t asked if he was married.
On the show before was a salon stylist who had 4 children , it's a proffesion not an orientation! 🙄
Wow: put a hybrid engine in the 1901 replica merry Oldsmobile and GM could sell a bunch, today! 😀
It's got antifreeze!
I am so curious what color the car was 🤦🏻♀️😂
