Rowling’s money is wildly inconsistent. I use the figure of one Galleon = $100USD and stick with it.
Still doesn’t make sense why Gred and Forge would have used wands. $700 for the right wand is a perfectly sensible purchase, even on a limited budget, considering how much difference it tends to make and that a wand typically lasts a lifetime.
