[303rd-Talk] coinage--FYI

[Maurice Paulk]

TO ALL----
In my memory the pound was either $4.03 or $4.04 & the Egyptian 
pound was $4.05.  Since I don't trust my memory to much I checked 
the web. I typed in  "English pound exchange - 1945" -- Wikipedia 
came up with the following--had to scroll down several pages 
before I found It.
>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia                                                                                    Under continuing economic pressure, and despite months of denials that                                                                     it would do so, on September 19, 1949, the government devalued the                                                                           pound by 30%, from US$4.03 to US$2.80. The move prompted several                                                                other governments to devalue against the dollar too, including Australia,                                                              Denmark, Ireland, Egypt, India, Israel, New Zealand, Norway                                                                                       and South Africa
Do I have too much time on my hands????????????????
