Yen to Dollars conversion in 1995-money?

Postby V » Fri Jan 02, 2009 3:46 pm

we can't simply use a conversion website because the conversion rate was different in the mid-90's

what was the conversion rate?

for example, if they're charging "30 yen a piece" for pictures of Asuka when she first arrives...what does that mean in today's money? A complicated question

(A) You can look up old conversion rates. (Honestly, you expect anyone to magically know this off the bat? If someone want to find out what it is, they have to look it up!)
(B) What you really want is the yen conversion rate for a fictional version of 2015, not the mid-90s. Which is, of course, impossible.

Hence, this topic is both an alternative to independent information-finding AND retarded, hence I have to make good on that warning I sent you.

Fare thee well, V.

Just for the record, I googled "old money conversion" (there was already a google suggestion for this, then tried "historical money conversion", looked at the results and decided to go even a bit more specific: historical money conversions yen dollar

yielded this link: http://fx.sauder.ubc.ca/data.html

This is internet 101, if anyone isn't able to do that, I don't think you should be on the internet.
