| | American Encyclopedia - Dollar/pound exchange rate |
 | | This has been the case as far as the dollar is concerned since trans-Atlantic trading in pounds and dollars began. |
 | | And, in 1933, the Americans gave in and devalued the dollar - the pound stood at $4.87, and without the pinning of the pound to the price of gold, the exchange rates hit a high of over $5 in 1934. |
 | | In the past couple of years, largely as a result of the weakness of the US dollar, it is back up close to $2 to the pound. |
