[edit] Value
$4 is a fair approximation of the value of the livre at its end. The dollar was worth about 5 livres, and the dollar's purchasing power was about 20 times its present value. Nik42 17:27, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
It should be noted that it's difficult and maybe impossible to assign a modern equivalent to these currencies without considering the vastly different prices of goods, services, and incomes at the time. -Matt 71.225.177.208 (talk) 15:47, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
