If I have in 1870 1000 sterling pounds in gold each coin weights 0.2354 oz (0.917 gold fine) I have 235.4 ounces (estimated 216 ounces of pure gold) Today value per one gold ounce is 460 pounds and today´s value would be almost 100.000 pounds
It's a difficult question, sweetheart, and the net's pretty useless. My granddad was alive in 1930, and he says that there are five modern pennies in a shilling, although the internet may tell you twelve. Five pennies to a shilling (or bob), and twenty shillings to a pound. Multiply that by one thousand and you have your answer (maths has always been my strong point). So, in an easier setout:
1 penny x 5 = 1 shilling/5 pence
Now, what I haven't yet told you is that a simpler way of doing it is just to think of it as 240 pennies to a pound. So if you x 240 pennies by 1000, that equals 240,000 or two hundred and forty thousand pennies. Divide that by 100 and you've got 2400 pounds - ta da! In an easier setout:
240 pence to a pound x 1000 = 240,000
240,000 -:- 100 = 2,400
2,400 converted into pound sterling = £2,400
Hope I helped. One last thing - do NOT underestimate kids, 'cos an eleven-year-old's just written this.
As of 2006, depending on how you calculate it, and what you mean by value, it is between about 40,000 pounds sterling and 275,000 pounds sterling of worth.
£30 or just slightly less. Of course £30 in 1937 would have bought more. A pound of fresh tea would have been 10 pence (2 shillings)

Value of 15000 GBP in 1859
10,000 lbs
A British Pound in 1935 has the purchasing power of about £58 GBP today.
£2,000,000
10 pounds in 1944 would buy about what 293 pounds would buy today.
From September 1949 to November 1967 the exchange rate was fixed at GBP1 = USD2.80
Still 40000 pounds but it would buy a lot less

50 pounds of sterling silver in 1920 would be worth roughly 1337.50 pounds now.
A British Pound in 1935 has the purchasing power of about £58 GBP today.
In today's dollars, that would be $268,713.50 At the time, 2000 pounds sterling would have been equal to about US $12,836
In today's dollars, that would be $268,713.50 At the time, 2000 pounds sterling would have been equal to about US $12,836
it would be worth 80 pounds. I think it would be worth 250 pounds today.
The value of 5 pounds sterling in 1884 was equivalent to about 450 pounds in 2014. That would be about the equivalent of $620.
