During that time the USD has suffered around 88% inflation measures by CPI, so in real terms that implies they're going backwards.

When my parents went to Japan in the eighties they were shocked that coffee in Tokyo was 4 times as expensive as in Germany. When I visited in 2016 I was similarly shocked that a vending machine Coca Cola costs half of what it costs in Germany. Japan's deflation has led the country to be very affordable.

That's inflation in US prices. It may not be transferrable to another country, where various things cost more/less, and rise/fall differently through the years.
