On a related note. We probably have to collect some CPI (consumer price
index) data (or similar data) for all countries (at least all supported
currencies) in order to find value across time.

I can't find a site with a good api and all of the data needed. Does
anybody on the list know of such a site? We might have to scrape the
data ourselves.
