What Has The Highest And Lowest USD to GBP Exchange Rate Ever Been?

Was just wondering if anybody knew what the Highest & lowest exchange rates ever recorded for Great British Pounts to United States Dollar and vice versa.

Thanks!

Answer:
From 1948 till 2007, using an annual average rate, the highest and lowest nominal rates are:
1948: USD/GBP 0.24814 or GBP/USD 4.029983
1985: USD/GBP 0.77925 or GBP/USD 1.283285
Its hard to compare rates before 1948, and even hard to say they have value until the late 1960s/early 1970s due to various fixed-currency regimes, i.e. the gold standard, Bretton Woods I, etc.
