See https://www.dollartimes.com/inflation/inflation.php?

Still cheap if in running condition...

Back in 1945 the cost of these was (ref. http://www.mapleleafup.nl/g104/cost.htm):

M4A2(76)HVSS/T66 $48,029
M4A2(76)HVSS/T80 $50,928

I guess it was cheaper to give them away for an adminstrative cost than to scrap them. It was the second time the Canadian army bought surplus tanks off the USA on the cheap.
