Help: Going rate for the tooth fairy?

My 6-year-old lost her first tooth last night while she was sleeping. Any of you other parents out there know what the going rate for the tooth fairy is nowadays? When I was a kid it was like 50 cents a tooth. I know it's got to be exponentially higher now some 30 years later! Bottom line: how much money should my daughter find under her pillow tomorrow morning?

 

50 cents? I got a fucking quarter.

 

We initially gave them the Gold Sakajewea dollar coins. Or a $5 bill.

 

A buck should do it.

 

A loonie.

 

First tooth = $5.

Next couple = $2.

We're down to $1/tooth these days.

 

Ya, just an American kid wants to wake up to: three quarters, a nickle and two pennies (or, the equivalent of a loonie)

 

It was a dollar the last time the tooth fairy visited our house, which was about 7 or 8 years ago.

 

Dollar. No need to set any higher precedent than that. Otherwise, she might start yanking them out just to raise money for video games.

 

Next on Rikki Lake ... toothless children in love with PS3.

 

Gave the gold/brass dollar (Sakajawea) to make it special; then gave two old silver dollars.

 

A dollar should do the trick. Kids haven't figured out that inflation thing yet.
