Rare MMDown Under Posted March 18, 2016 #76 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Like wise, It would have been 2013 I think and I bought $1,000 USD at $1.1046 from a exchange on George street. At the time my brother said I should wait, two months later he said I should have bought $10,000 worth. Yes, those were the days! http://www.news.com.au/finance/markets/aussie-dollar-hits-new-record-high-breaks-through-110-us-cents/story-fn6t6wad-1226102655526 I remember that I also got more US$ for my Aus$ in 1969/1970.

Looking at that it must have been 2011/2012 and not 2013, time flies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dillpickle48 Posted March 30, 2016 #79 Share Posted March 30, 2016 But I also ave one here showing $1.07 I can't read the date it's on that thermal rubbish, but must be about 2011 or thereabouts. If only we could go back to 2012. http://www.exchangerates.org.uk/AUD-USD-19_02_2012-exchange-rate-history.html 1 aud = 1.08 usd was a good time to travel.

So my guess of 2011 was probably close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joandian Posted March 31, 2016 #85 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) While you are all rejoicing in the steady rise of the Aussie dollar, we are loosing out on the perks of being paid in USD with each upward move. I really enjoy getting more for my money when the AUD is lower :eek: :D Edited March 31, 2016 by joandian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted March 31, 2016 #86 Share Posted March 31, 2016 The AUD went low enough, and below its fair value. Time for a bit of a recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joandian Posted March 31, 2016 #87 Share Posted March 31, 2016 The AUD went low enough, and below its fair value. Time for a bit of a recovery. I'm still waiting for it to get below 60c as they predicted :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted March 31, 2016 #88 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I'm still waiting for it to get below 60c as they predicted :D I don't know who predicted that but the RBA still wants it around $0.65 to $0.60. I hope it continues to rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted March 31, 2016 #89 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I'm still waiting for it to get below 60c as they predicted :D Predictions all over the place, including back above 80c. A lot of people just make predictions based on a continuation of the current short term trend though... not much in that! I can't see it going below 60c significantly - it's very rarely been below that level historically. What are the excessively negative grounds for it to do so now?

They'd said they were okay with it around the 70c mark. While they're not so happy now, they've been warned off further manipulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUT2407 Posted April 1, 2016 #93 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I had lunch the other day with a bloke who makes millions every time our dollar moves a cent (if he has picked it the right way, and he usually does) he said that over th next 5-10 years it will yo-yo between 60 and 80 cents and will start to fall again in the next month. Be interesting to see if he is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare OzKiwiJJ Posted April 1, 2016 #96 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Ah well, if I'm lucky and don't spend all the OBC I bought at Princess' great .90 exchange rate I might make a few dollars on the conversion back to AUD. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
