AD&D 1E What is the cost of one night at an Inn?

Where are you that you can get sourdough loves for $2.20? That would run around $5.75 around here. (Columbus OH). $2.20 is in the price range for the most generic, softest, mass-produced sliced sandwich bread of the sort that no medieval had access to and no one living in Europe would eat by choice.

Canada (have been converting CAD to USD). Grocery store bread is pretty dire in the US I guess. Canadian bread is OK but not nearly as good as in Germany, which was awesome.

B/X was 10 coins per pound.
1E was 10 coins per pound.
2E was 50 coins per pound.

Real life was different.

England had 311-584 silver pence per pound (weight not currency) and 65-175 gold pieces per pound (weight not currency) from 1158 to 1464 (inflation).

Silver pence was about the size of a US dime, but about half the thickness.

Coin weights in early editions were bonkers. An 18th Century 5 kopeks coin is 1.6oz, and it's copper. So 1cp in AD&D or B/X is this big compared to a modern US quarter:
