The official rate dropped below 92c today, and since it has dropped so fast recently it wouldn't surprise me to have some banks widen the margin to 4 cents, to cover themselves.

Damn... in the last 24 hours, it dropped from 95.47 to 91.72... a freefall of 3.75c in just 16 hours. That's almost 4%.


If I was willing to risk carrying around a few thousand dollars for a couple weeks, I'd have gotten some US$ a few weeks back before the dive. Just AU$2000 in April would have given me an extra US$275 to spend.


It's a 13% drop in value in just 10 weeks (it was at a peak of $1.05 at April 11 - a 13.76c plunge).

It's kinda funny... most years I go to BotCon, the exchange rate plummets 5-10 cents in the month before I go, so the timing of this isn't surprising to me. So never fear, when I get back the rate should start rising again.

I'm glad that you always see the light at the end of the tunnel for us Griffin.
