What was the purchasing power of a dollar in 1900?
Because today's economy is so different from that in 1900, it's very difficult to come up with a single value comparing the value of today's dollar today with a dollar that far in the past.A number of sources including the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicate that a comparable "market basket" of goods that cost $1 in 1900 would cost about $25 to $28 today.Other sources that compare wages indicate that a worker making $1 a day in 1900 would make about $130 if they're unskilled, and about $200 if they have a skilled profession.It's even harder to compare quality-of-life costs; for example people in 1900 weren't as healthy in general nor did they have things like radio, TV, airplanes, etc. The economist Samuel Williamson ("Measuring Worth", 2015) attempted to take those factors into account and came up with a ballpark figure of $1 in 1900 being equivalent to over $800 today in terms of quality.

A British one pound note was worth $4.25 US currency exchange in 1940 The value to a coin / banknote collector today would depend on condition of note. You should be able to find on Google search and Ebay 1 pound in 1940 is widely rated as very roughly equivalent to about 40 to 45 pounds now. Please bear in mind that in 1940 income tax rose sharply (to finance the war) and that increasingly rigorous rationing came into effect. Some goods that are readily available now were scarce because they were requisitioned by the government: for example, photographic film was often difficult to obtain because over 80% of the entire output was used by the government, mainly for aerial reconnaissance. The production of most perfumes was stopped on the grounds that these were inessential luxuries and so on. The prices of essentials were fixed (and moderate). As a result, they was less and less to spend money on - and this in turn led to inflation. In 1940 prices rose by about 10% I hope this answer is of use to you. Joncey
