$100 in 1929 would have been worth what they considered to be $100. When referring to buying power, $100 from 1929 would have bought approximately $1300 dollars worth of goods in today's time. Conversely, $100 from 1929 today would buy you about 5 or 6 current dollars worth of goods.

5 pounds would be 25 US dollars back then, and the web's inflation calculator shows around thirty 2021 dollars to one 1913 dollar, so I'd guess that one Victorian Pound would be 5x30 or $150 in today's money. 500 pounds would be 500x150$ or 75 thousand dollars today.

It was worth 5 cents same as today.
The 1930 coin is worth approximately $150. The exact price that one will get for the coin will depend upon the condition of the coin.
Given approximate Annual Inflation rates of the Japanese currency since the year 1930 coupled with the fact that the Japanese did not keep track of Inflation percentage records until 1960, the average yen in 1930 would equal 659 yen in today's money. 659*1000=659,000 yen= 8,400.40 USD as of 7/29/2012
If you were born in 1930, you would be about 84 years old today, in 2014! :)
