Does anyone know what the value of 1 pound Sterling in 2009 would be compared to the value in 1714? I'm just curious as to what money would be worth today. It's interesting when you're reading deeds and wills, you wonder about the cost of things then and the value of the money compared to today's prices! Also, in 1714, how many pounds of tobacco would be worth 1 pound Sterling? I think it's 250lbs of tobacco, but I'm not sure. Thanks! Barb Price **************Great Deals on Dell Laptops.
