I was reading a post where someone mentioned $1 seemed like a very small amount for an item in a story they had read. A comment said this was set in 1966, and so would be about $7 today.
That seemed a very low inflation rate to me, having lived through the 1970s. So I tried the linked inflation calculator. £1 in 1966 is £17.46 in today’s money, which feels more plausible. A combination of inflation and exchange rate changes.
(... although it will probably be more like £1746 in a few years time ...)
