Re: Conversion Rates?
There are in fact 10 territories of Australia, 3 on the mainland (don't forget the Jervis Bay Territory which split from the ACT in 1989) and 7 external territories (eg Norfolk Island).

Though that's being rather pedantic. My point was that the ACT (probably) was forgotten, which is a big-sized boo boo.
big big.

There is no link between the AU$ and the US$ or C$ so there's no reason why they should be the same. Similarly there is no link between the british pound and the turkish pound (aka Lira) or the egyptian pound. If the AU$ had been called the royal instead of the dollar it would not have been related to the Iranian rial or the brazilian real
** this is why the 20c coin looks like a florin, the 10c coin looks like a shilling, and the 5c coin looks like a six-pence. The 1c and 2c coins were newly minted at that time but the British did copy them to look like the new halfpence and new penny when they got round to decimalisation.
