Not sure how you got to AUS$122 but am assuming you did something like this; went to a currency converter site or newspaper listing and converted US$100 to Australian dollars which would give you AUS$122
<blush> yep...
To put this simply, if you went to any bank in Australia today to buy US$100 you would have to pay AUS$135.30 + commission.
Well, live and learn I suppose. I forgot that buy and sell rates are different. Thanks for putting me straight Charlz, much appreciated. Maybe I don't feel so bad now. :-)
