A British Pound in 1900 has the purchasing power of about £72 GBP today.
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.
55 Pence GBP in 1900 had the purchasing power of about £16.52 GBP today. NOTE - This historical conversion is the result of many calculations and considerations by a purpose designed program for which I can take no credit. The resulting answer should only be regarded as an approximation.

Gold is measured in troy ounces. 14.6 troy ounces make up a pound. Gold was priced at $18.96 an ounce in 1900. The total value in 1900 would have been $27,681,600. Today gold is $1,190 an ounce. The value of 100000 of pounds of gold today would be $1,737,400,000
Since $1 was worth more then it would be worth today a pencil back in the early 1900's could have cost 1 fourth of a cent today.
1000 USD from 1900 would have the purchasing power of just under 28,000 USD today. The dollars themselves would be virtually worthless, however, as only collectors would care to buy them, and only in very good condition.
