Guest melissa Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Because of the stock market crash, the A$ is perceived as a high risk currency, so people off load them. This weakens it. You can never get the top rate if you're getting cash for travelling, only if you're transfering decent amounts. Darren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
