No ...they make their % on the rate!

They make around 2 cent's on the dollar. Yesterday they got a commercial rate of $2.42 , then sold to me at $2.4.

all the best plum & family.

Us expats have really been stitched up by the strong Aussie dollar. When we first came to Oz in 2002 the exchange rate was almost $3 to the £. Now it's hovering around $2.4. We're just in the process of buying real estate and I'm watching the exchange rate every day because we have until the beginning of April to get our cash over here from the UK account and settle with the vendors. Praying for an $AU crash - I've worked out every cent makes about £650 difference to the price we pay!
