From Wikipedia- "A common account states that Minuit purchased Manhattan for $24 worth of trinkets. A letter written by Dutch merchant Peter Schaghen to directors of the Dutch East India Company stated that Manhattan was purchased for “60 guilders worth of trade”, an amount worth approximately $1,050 in 2015 dollars."

Anyone know the connection between “triple Manhattan” and “72”? Is there some connection between Manhattan and 24?

On January 18, 1970 60 NLG (Dutch Guldens) were around 17 USD. So a tripple Manhattan should have cost somewhat around 51 USD.
