With all of the hits to our economy in the last couple of months, the Aussie Dollar has weakened a lot against the major currencies, and is pretty much steady with the NZ dollar.

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

- US$ - 0.6537 (down 3 cents so far this year)
- GB£ - 0.5907 (down 7 pence so far this year)
- JP¥ - 70.830 (down 3.5 yen so far this year)
- EU€ - 0.5906 (down almost 3 cents so far this year)
- NZ$ - 1.0474 (up a little bit this year)

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