Money exchange, Tangiers

(Jack Birns. 1950)

Anyone else notice the random price differences between UK Pounds Sterling and American Dollars in sponsorships? They are completely arbitrary and not based on any actual monetary values. If you pay American dollars, you get screwed on the low and high tiers because it's not premised on the actual exchange rate! Using today's rate, £50k is $66.5k not $70k and £200k is $225k American not $260k. The middle tier actually saves you $3k as it's under the current exchange rate at $130k instead of $133k. It also looks sooooo tacky to show figures for the different currencies. It should just have one figure regardless of the currency...🙄

The euro and the U.S. dollar are exchanging at a 1-to-1 rate for the first time in nearly two decades.

What currency was used in France, the United States, and Britain in the early 19th century? What were the historical exchange rates? How much did things cost? Since Napoleon in America occasionally mentions financial transactions, these were questions I had to look into when writing the novel. For details on what I found out, see “Currency, Exchange Rates & Costs in the 19th Century.”

According to DarkViperAU lore, a big mac is equal to 702 AUD.

We also know that something nice, but not expensive, corresponds to 7 USD.

Using current exchange rate (1 usd is 1.37 aud), this means that one could trade one big mac for roughly 73 things that are nice, but not expensive (73,2012513 nice yet not expensive items to be precise).
