Currency convertor!!

[maggiefishblue]

Hi All,

I've just discovered this .... very useful :)


A new sort of currency convertor for the period between 1270 and 1970, it converts values in pounds, shillings and pence from a particular decade into today's values. For the post decimalisation period from 1971, it converts the value from a particular five-year period into today's values. There are also notes for each century on the standard of living, transport and currency. These contain all sorts of useful pieces of information.

Very useful for calculating sums from old wills etc.

Hi Maggie,

I don't know how I missed your posting for TNA currency convertor...too much running around the countryside lately...never mind, shall be home tomorrow.

Great site, very useful, probably the best that I've seen...my G Grandad left some money to his neice by marriage in 1926 and when converted to todays value, she did very, very well indeed.

I have a few more Wills (much older) at home that I can use it for too.

Thanks for that Maggie,

Kaye.

Hi Kaye,

Glad you like it - I thought it was brilliant - it's hard to imagine just how much stuff would have been worth in today's world and this helps tremendously :)
