So to me appears yes. You are either richer or have used to pay more...

Were you dressed like an American at the time? We pay much less than that.
Seriously though, Paris is expensive, and maybe you were at tourist areas in Italy? I think a coke costs between 50p and 80p (~$1-$1.6) outside London though I can't abide the stuff so I might be wrong.
