Dollar Street

I just came across the Dollar Street website, and found it quite interesting. The website allow one to compare how different families live around the world. Quoting from the website

We want to show how people really live. It seemed natural to use photos as data so people can see for themselves what life looks like on different income levels. Dollar Street lets you visit many, many homes all over the world. Without travelling.

This can help put into context the "value of the lost coin".

If you don't have much time, I recommend that you watch the video in the about page of the website.
