I remember back in the late 70’s it was about @220 or 230 to one dollar.

My recollection of that era is closer to 300-to-1.

Well, according to this, the late 70’s/early 80’s was a low of 210 (1977) and a high of 249 (1982). These were the years that I recall because I worked in the foreign exchange department of a major international bank during those particular years.
