What could you buy for £1 in 1983?

By Change Checker | October 13, 2017 |

I thought it would be interesting to take a look at how the value of the £1 coin has changed since it was first introduced back in 1983.

It’s common knowledge that the cost of living increases over time; however you may be surprised when you see just how much some everyday items have increased in cost during the past 34 years…

    THIS IS PROOF OF THE SYSTEMATIC DEBASEMENT OF THE CURRENCY SYSTEM BY THE GREEDY BANKSTERS AND ALL GOVENMENTS TO KEEP THE POOR AND MIDDLE CLASS AS THEY ARE. CURRENCY BACKED BY HOOLOW PROMISES AND NOT A TANGABLE ASSET WILL EVENTUALLY BECOME WORTHLESS, THIS IS NOT MONEY.
