Chart of the Day - Tooth Fairy Payout

Today’s Chart of the Day is from Delta Dental and shows the average Tooth Fairy payout per lost tooth since 2001. A tongue in cheek survey but also used by some as a gauge for the state of the economy and inflation.  
 
Notice payouts jump from time to time as it goes from one even dollar amount to another. For example, from $2 to $4, then to the high of $6 and back down to the current $5, as not too many Tooth Fairies carry loose change. 
 
I called my mother, who knew my Tooth Fairy on a first name basis, to ask how much I used to receive. She said, "A dollar, as your Tooth Fairy was very generous."
