    Default Stupid Australian $

    As of today, it's lost 29% of its value since July. I suppose parity with the US$ was too good to last.

    Apparently, in uncertain economic times, money markets retreat into 'safe harbour' currencies, like the Yen. the A$, apparently, is not one of these, since we have a commodity-based economy.

    Just by way of comparison, the Aussie $ has lost more of its value that the Mexican peso and the Brazilian real.

    So much for the dollar for dollar by Christmas eh? I really enjoyed all those indulgences from Robot Kingdom while the $AU was worth something. On the plus side my exchange rate calculator is getting a good work out.

    This is not good for me as a seller at a fair. My prices can no longer be as attractive...
