The AU dollar seems to be going up every 20 minutes.

It's at US$1.067 at the moment. It was just bellow 1.06 at around 7pm.

I bought some US dollars (cash) this afternoon but they only sold them to me at 1.02

See first post as to why the posted rate is not the actual cash-conversion rate.

I was just confused because I got it converted at Australia Post who claim to not take any commission. I don't really mind, as long as I'm not getting less money I don't really care.

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)
