The British pound to dollar exchange rate is the value of the British pound sterling in relation to the United States dollar. It is one of the most traded currency pairs in the world, and is closely watched by businesses and investors.
The exchange rate between the British pound and the US dollar has fluctuated significantly over time. In the early 1900s, one pound was worth around $4.85. However, the value of the pound has declined steadily since then, and in recent years it has been worth around $1.25. This decline has been due to a number of factors, including the UK’s relatively high inflation rate and its large budget deficit.
