Thanks.

I saw the movie "Superman" starring Christopher Reeve in Eros theatre, Churchgate in 1985.

Assuming I had paid INR 30 in 1985 for the movie, What was the INR - US $ currency rate ?

Is it possible to find the INR - US $ currency rate in the Year 1985 (INR 30 in How many US $ at that time) as the currency rate varies day to day basis?

Thanks & Regards,

Economist that are hired by government agencies do this already; they build what is called a price index. A video on how they do it is provided below:

Furthermore, there are websites that exist which show the cost of items historically

Here's one I found https://www.indexmundi.com/commodities/?commodity=bananas by searching"historical commodity data" in Google.

Hope this helps!
