Re: 1930's currency values
Alex,
I have been able to trace the 22.40 to a trusted source now, so I am convinced it is true (source: Dansk Penge Historie, Danmarks Nationalbank, 1968, i.e. Danish Monetary History published by the Danish Nationalbank).
From 1942 the exchange rate is 19,36 DKK to one pound sterling.
It is told that the British forces arriving in Copenhagen in May 1945 had been told that the exchange rate was 20,00 DDK to one pound sterling and that this had a great influence on the Danish-British negotiations in the following months.
