I don't understand what you're saying. If you put money under a mattress, doesn't it stay the same in worth? If I put a $20 bill under the mattress 40 years ago, it's still a $20 bill, worth exactly $20 today. What did you mean?

Instead of "worth", perhaps "purchasing power" would be more accurate. The purchasing power of cash is generally reduced over time due to inflation.
