Exchange Rates

I hope you aren't already put-off by the title of my post. Yes that's right, I'm gonna talk about exchange rates.
But don't worry i wont go to depth, since I'm not actually very familiar with exchange rates at all.
Whhaaaat... Exchange Rates? I'm bored Already


Well first of all, I use Windows Vista, and it has this application called the sidebar. I'm sure you're all familiar with it, so I won't explain what it is. Anyway, I have this gadget on the sidebar that converts currency, and just now it has been saying that the Australian Dollar is worth 0.9999 American dollars. I checked Yahoo Finance to make sure that the gadget wasn't just malfunctioning.

Amazingly, it was working perfectly fine. So oh my gawd, do you know what this means? DO YOU? The Australian Dollar is like worth nearly the same as the US dollar at the moment! That's ****ing awesome. If you are planning to go to another country at the moment, exchange your Australian Dollars for the currency of the country your going to. If you exchange a good amount, you'll end up with a lot of money to use on your holiday. If you're not quick, the rate might have dropped already. I'll go do a quick check.

Oh look, indeed it has. It's back to 0.9997. That's still incredibly pretty epic though.

It would be really cool if the Australian dollar surpassed the US dollar. And it's entirely possible (its happened in the past I think). There is just a low possibility that it will remain at that rate.

How about a final check?
1 Australian dollar= 0.9986 American Dollars

Aww, see what I mean? The dollar rises and drops. I was really getting my hopes up though ^.^



YIEUOAY~!!
