It's interesting. I'd like to see more countries. How about ￥1 1980 today ?

I haven't looked for others but Australia has a convenient calculator: http://www.rba.gov.au/calculator/annualPreDecimal.html

1 pound 10 shillings in 1945 (which would convert to $1.50 in 1965 with the changeover to decimal) becomes $98.74 in 2013. Ouch!
