OK, what I did was, I went to official sites of the places and used their calculators to find the year at which the currency had ten times the purchasing power compared to now. So if you had a unit of currency at that year, you would need ten units to get the same amount of stuff today. The figuring took into account any changes to the currency in use, by the way.

Australia - 1974
Canada - 1964
Ireland - 1974
New Zealand - 1976
USA - 1966
UK - 1974

As for Atlantis, they have perfected money to the point that a clam today is the same value in clams as a clam at any point in time.

all right, how about the year that it was when you could have a unit of currency, but now that unit's power of purchasing has been cut in half.

Australia - 1999
Canada - 1991
Ireland - 1992
New Zealand - 1996
USA - 1998
UK - 1997
