it will only cost $1.34 to get one pound.


When I was a kid [well that’s some 80 years ago] the pound would cost $5. The story would be how much England has declined with some combination of war and inflation.

But there were times when it was much lower against the dollar. I remember an exchange rate of 3 pounds for one dollar in the mid-60s. It was a great time to visit Carnaby Street.
