How Much is a Tooth Worth?

Not talking about Darletta or Tammi Jo getting dentures before 30 cause the Richland County Rock Candy rotted them all out.
One of my rugrats (which iPhone hilariously tries to autocorrect to regrets) has reached such a stage of (im)maturity that her mouth looks like it was on the business end of a round of Big Mouth clown tooth cannon blasting.
How much did you give your kids? How much did you get as a kid? What’s the inflation coefficient for determining present day value of a retired chomper?
I know I used to get 2 dollar bills and I enjoyed the novelty of it. What say you?

In this day and age, I'd say a late-model used car would cover all of the teeth

in one shot. I would however make the child sign a binding legal contract to prevent said aforementioned child from filing a civil suit for damages if said aforementioned child feels like said aforementioned car does not live up to expectations of proper child care at some point down the road.

Instead of cash, leave a more valuable gift - a nice note from the tooth fairy

threatening to pull all the rest in one night if they don't brush every night before bed. Make sure the note has some blood smeared on it for realism.

She got 20 Euro because we didn't have anything else. We told her the Tooth Leprechaun is loaded, but the Tooth Fairy back in the States is a cheapskate... we have held true to form since.
