As many have been hearing on the news lately, the AU$ has been dropping in the last couple weeks, due to middle-eastern tensions and the American economy picking up, prompting investors to send more of their money into the US.

As of today, according to xe.com, these are the current rates for AU$1...

- US$ - 0.8786 (down a lot - 5c in 4 weeks)
- GB£ - 0.5424 (down a fair bit)
- JP¥ - 95.620 (down a bit)
- EU€ - 0.6960 (down a little)
- NZ$ - 1.1159 (almost unchanged)

(bank and paypal rates are 2-3% less than the figures above)
