What is 1 guinea in US Dollars?

Answer 1

Well, there are a few ways to answer this question. The guinea was a gold British machine struck coin that eventually had the value of 1 pound and 1 shilling. In the pre-decimal system there were 20 shillings to the pound and 12 pence to the shilling. Eventually the guinea was superseded by the sovereign, a gold coin worth 1 pound.

The difficulty in answering your question is that the guinea no longer really exists, technically it would be worth 1.10 pounds if you did a straight conversion of currency and converting the pre-decimal amount to the post-decimal amount, which would equal to about $1.76 US.

However, since neither the UK or the US is on the gold standard anymore, the actual price of a gold guinea is much, much higher than $1.76, also, the pound has been devalued much more to the US than historically (historically there have been about 4 pounds in each US dollar, or about 5 shillings to the dollar). So if you have a physical guinea, post a new question including the date and an estimate of condition and we can find you a value for that coin.
If you mean the Guinea in the UK, it is no longer used. It was worth 21 schillings (252 pence), where the pound was worth 20 schillings (240 pence). It was used to pay for certain services, kind of like a built in tip. If you mean the currency of the country Guinea, 1 US Dollar is worth about 6521 Guinea Franc.
