[QUOTE="Chris B, post: 8362251, member: 87179"]Are there any good resources for determining the purchasing power of a German Thaler at different points in history? I found some information that covers the 1880's but I am more interested in the 1600's and 1700's. For the 1880's here is what I found an individual could purchase with a Thaler: 12 kg rye bread 6 kg wheat flour 42 kg potatoes 17.5 liters of milk 4 kg butter 60 eggs Additional info: Weekly wages of a wool weaver - 2.1 Thalers Weekly living expenses for a family of 5 - 3.5 Thalers (that wool weaver better be single) To keep it legal here is a 1745 Thaler from Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel [ATTACH=full]1484185[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
