It's interesting to look back to the start of this topic almost 3 years ago now, and see how much more our AU$ buys against the US$, GB£ and Euro - almost 50% more on each... But, the other two currencies have gone up and down during that time, but are currently about the same.

The rates in the first post, of 7th May 2009 (with AU$ value increase since then)

- US$ - 0.7528 (43% better now)
- GB£ - 0.4979 (37% better now)
- JP¥ - 75.18 (10% better now - half of that was in the last month)
- EU€ - 0.5666 (45% better now)
- NZ$ - 1.28 (1% better now)
