$100 goes a pretty long way in Ohio, at least that’s what a recent analysis by the Tax Foundation says. 

The study, which pooled data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, quotes the value of $100 in Ohio at $112, which is the equivalent of a handful of extra beers or a couple of lunches out (we eat cheaply).

That’s pretty good, especially when you look at how far 100 big ones gets you on the coasts (which is to say, not much).
