Monetary values in different eras
« on: Friday 01 April 11 12:57 BST (UK) »
Does anyone know of a site that will tell you what a sum of money in a past time would be worth today? I have a record of a will from the 1920's and I would like to find out what it would be worth now. I know it would only be an estimate but it would be interesting to know.
