St.George have the AUD at 0.88 USD. Must check rates after work.
The official rate dropped below 92c today, and since it has dropped so fast recently it wouldn't surprise me to have some banks widen the margin to 4 cents, to cover themselves.

Damn... in the last 24 hours, it dropped from 95.47 to 91.72... a freefall of 3.75c in just 16 hours. That's almost 4%.
If I was willing to risk carrying around a few thousand dollars for a couple weeks, I'd have gotten some US$ a few weeks back before the dive. Just AU$2000 in April would have given me an extra US$275 to spend.
It's a 13% drop in value in just 10 weeks (it was at a peak of $1.05 at April 11 - a 13.76c plunge).
It's kinda funny... most years I go to BotCon, the exchange rate plummets 5-10 cents in the month before I go, so the timing of this isn't surprising to me. So never fear, when I get back the rate should start rising again. :p
