k.wong..that depends on your credit card bank/company you're with
I have one of those Visa debit cards. I can use it as a credit card but it takes it straight out of my bank account. In any transaction where it isn't AU$, it adds 2% onto it. It's not too bad, just a little under what paypal adds, but you get the added bonus of paypal not getting anything.
Well we collectively order enough from them, maybe they could do like an Ozformer discount or something

Under 60c US here in New Zealand. Making my purchases in the weekend at HTS more expensive as I don't get charged until 4-5 days after purchase (i.e now)
Though the Ausatralian dollar is getting back to what it should be (87c) compared to what it was a few months ago at 79c.
It would appear that rationality finally struck the Aussie dollar again. Let's see where it goes by the time we wake tmrw.

Not any more. It's back down to 67c.
The yen is even worse to the AU$, with us losing almost half the value of our currency to it (from about 110y 2 months ago to 66y now).

Looking at this website that archives exchange rates:
http://www.gocurrency.com/index.htm
exactly 3 months ago (July 10th) to now (Oct 10th)
US$ 0.96 - 0.67 (down 29 or 30.2%)
£ 0.48 - 0.39 (down 9 or 18.75%)
¥ 103 - 66 (down 37 or 35.9%)
EU€ 0.60 - 0.49 (down 11 or 18.3%)
NZ$ 1.27 - 1.12 (down 0.15 or 11.8%)
We're even weakening to the NZ$, how pathetic does that make the AU$ if a 'more troubled economy' like NZ is doing better than we are on the cross-rates.
Every currency I checked had the AU$ dropping by 10-30% in the last 3 months, suggesting that it was either overvalued before (July was the peak) or now just unwanted.
Hell, even Zimbabwe is probably doing better than us...
