Factcheck: GBP/EUR traded around the 1.70 level twice in history: Early May 2000 and late October 2000 (and those were brief spikes in both instances). Of course, the EUR didn't exist as an actual (physical) currency at the time and had a smaller membership too. In a physical form and replacing national currencies, the EUR didn't exist until 1 January 2002. Sources:
