In the past, historical exchange rates were only found in business newspapers and magazines or by paid subscription. Today, these rates are available online and free of charge to the general public. Two concepts associated with old money exchange rates are; the historical rate of exchange between two currencies and the value, adjusted for inflation, of the same currency.
Currency exchange tools from governments and from commercial services can be used to find old and historical exchange rates between currencies (Example: historical US Dollar vs. Pound Sterling). Other tools can be used to convert old money to new inflation adjusted values of the same currency (Example: 1980 US Dollar to 2010 US Dollar).
Old Currency Exchange Rates: Government Sources
Government sources use internal data provided by the financial sector to estimate currency exchange rates on a daily basis. These rates are average rates calculated from banks information that are fed to a country’s central bank. These sources generally include much older exchange rates. In the United States three agencies providing old and historical currency exchange rates include:
