Also, you guys are way overthinking this "make money through time travel" thing. Buy a bunch of salt for cheap, bring it back to ancient times, sell salt for craptons of treasure and gold. Bring it back to the present and sell as antiques. You're set for retirement.

But they wouldn't be old. You'll have to bury them somewhere safe so they can age, otherwise you'll just be selling accurate imitations of ancient goods.

Fairly easy, just do it in Egypt and bury the stuff in the desert. That should keep it nice and fresh.
Alternatively: Sell salt, buy gold, silver and gems.

Also, a happy: "The dollar is mightier than the sword." As a modification, it's fairly obvious, but I like it anyway~

Each of the pockets on my bathrobe can comfortably hold a can of soda.  I don't think that's why there are there, though.

The question seems pretty dumb, to be honest.
Presumably the sort of people with access to time machines wouldn't usually be the sort of people to go around messing with the past in such major, potentially dangerous ways...

The question is also pretty biased: it would be a hell of a lot easier to cash in on something for personal profit using future knowledge, than it would be to spread the medicines or kill the hitlers. It has nothing to do with Black Lotuses.

I LOVE this idea. This needs to be a story somewhere.
