USD GBP Rate

[Dead Boy]

Hi.

Well, now as you know, USD is NOT strong!  Some years ago, a Dollar is worth 90 - 100 (Japanese) Yen, and a Dollar = 90 - 100 Yen is good rate for economics.  And now a Dollar is 1.60745 GBP.  So, how much GBP usually should be worth a Dollar for economics?

I just ordered the August 2011 issue of the Guitarist magazine for the feature on the Belairs and Dick Dale.  It was 7.5 GBP (shipping included): $12, which is less than the $15.99 it sold for at Borders.

The other night I ordered The Cramps - Live at Club 57 in 1979 CD from a small German record store for €17.69, which comes to $24.89.

Thanks for the reply, but I want to know fair (right?) late.  Now, 1 USD is about 78 Yen (It means USD is too cheap!!!), but if the American economy is recovered, 1 USD will be 90 - 100 Yen, and I think it's fair late.  As I said, now, 1USD is about 1.6 GBP, so if the American economy is recovered, how much GBP is worth 1 USD?  Or, how much GBP was worth 1 USD about a years ago?

Sorry for my bad English!

I think when times are good the pound is worth about 1.4 or 1.5 dollars. To be honest everywhere in the West sucks so the pound is worthless and the Euro isn't much better so 1.6 isn't that crazy. For Brits it was way better a few years ago when the British economy was kicking arse while something was wrong with the American, then it was nearly 2 dollars to the pound and we could do some serious business.

Vielen dank for the reply!  1.4 is nice!  If I can wait to buy a VST from UK till it, I can save about 200 bucks!  I still can't understand well why investors in the world buy Yen!  Anyway, I'll buy another one from Germany soon.  Thanx!

Your English is fine , don't be hard on yourself. We all slip up a bit , unless we're fluent speakers of another language , beside our own....I understood you. I'm sure everyone else can, too. I'm sure you can learn more about what the Dollar to Pound (Or Yen , but , you seem have a good understanding of that...) conversion rate will be in , say , 5 years. I'm sure the experts have made predictions that are credible.  I almost went to England about 25 years ago , when the Dollar was , briefly , very strong. I don't think it's been strong for a long time , certainly not since Britain refused to get on the Euro , and even , before then. Everybody wants our money , and , yet , nobody wants our money.
