![]() ![]() The Goldmark was replaced by the Papermark on 10 April 1917 which in turn was replaced by the Riechsmark on 28 October 1924. The currencies used in the Archival Currency Converter were not subject to structural changes during the period between 19 except the German mark which presents a number of structural complications. It is also important to note that each of the currency reports used from the Federal Reserve Bank 'Section 11: Currency' report have individual notes regarding the quotations that were used when gathering the data between 19. These margins are not reflected in the numerical data which are representative of 'official' exchange rates only. Note that the physical exchange of gold under the International Gold Standard did, on occasions, give rise to arbitrage margins occurring between various currencies. Therefore the arbitrage free exchange rate (known as a ‘cross rate’) between the French franc and the British pound was 5.8464 * 4.768 = 27.8757 francs per British pound.The US dollar rate against the British pound was 476.80 US cents per pound or 4.768 US dollars per pound.The US dollar rate against the French franc was 17.1045 US cents per franc or 5.8464 francs per US dollar.For example, using the month of January 1916: These exchange rates were used to calculate the arbitrage free exchange rate between the French franc and the Argentinian peso, Australian pound, German mark, Brazilian milreis, Japanese yen and British pound. The original pages from this report for the United States dollar foreign exchange rate against the Argentinian peso, Australian pound, Brazilian milreis, French franc, German mark, Japanese yen and British pound are shown below. The data points used in the Archival currency converter were calculated using the monthly exchange rates between the US dollar and various other currencies as recorded in the above US Federal Reserve Bank report between 19. This report can be found at: FRASER®, Federal Reserve Archives, Federal Reserve Bank of Saint Louis. The data used in the Archival Currency Converter 1916–1940 was sourced from the archival United States of America Federal Reserve Bank report titled, ‘Section 11: Currency’ in the Banking and Monetary Statistics, 1914 – 1941.

These measures may be more useful depending on what you’re trying to do. The website has a calculator based on different measures of comparative value such as the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) deflator, average earnings, and GDP per head. You can find some alternatives in our A millennium of macroeconomic data spreadsheet and Professor Clark’s study The Macroeconomic Aggregates for England 1209-1869. There are a number of other price indices available. We use the ONS’s estimates of the Consumer Price Index from 1949 onwards, which we use to update our calculator each year.įor dates between 1209 to 1750, we use the cost of living index kindly supplied by Professor Greg Clark. Before 1947 no single price index exists so the ONS use price data linked together from several different published sources. For dates from 1750 until 1948 we use the Office for National Statistics’ (ONS) Composite Price Index. We use several sources to create our calculator. The calculations are approximate and only give a rough guide to the buying power of the pound for goods and services purchased in the UK.
