Web site/phone app: How much money is this amount in history worth now?
Problem: The book I’m reading, whilst fascinating, talks about amounts in dollars from Hawaii in 1905 and amounts in pounds from England in 1650. I have no real way of knowing if they’re a lot or a little.
Solution: A nice web site. You enter:
- Date
- Amount of money
- Currency
- Currency you want it converted into
and, hey presto, it tells you how much that amount is worth now. Anyone who knew about the web could get it up and working in an afternoon. Ad-supported is probably the best way to go on the web; cheap app on the phone.
Second problem: howmuchmoneyisthisamountinhistoryworthnow.com is a shit domain name.
