The "dollar-a-day" books ended in 2007, fifty years after it started; the final version was Europe on $95 a Day. The timeline below shows how the titular amount evolved over the years. Just for kicks, I've added the inflation-adjusted worth of $5 in 1957; these amounts are listed in brackets (and for the record, according to the US government, $5 in 1957 has the same buying power as $38.87 now--in general terms, if not in travel terms).
1957: Europe on $5 a Day
1972: Europe on $5 and $10 a Day [$7.44]
1979: Europe on $15 a Day [$12.92]
1981: Europe on $20 a Day [$16.17]
1987: Europe on $25 a Day [$20.21]
1990: Europe on $40 a Day [$23.26]
1991: Europe on $45 a Day [$24.23]
1996: Europe on $50 a Day [$27.92]
2000: Europe From $60 a Day (note the change in wording!) [$30.64]
2000: Europe From $70 a Day
2007: Europe From $95 a Day [$36.89]
(Note: I wasn't always able to determine the precise year of each title change, so in some cases it's an educated guess based on the earliest publication date I was able to find for the title.)
