Fellow AUSSIES - overnight 10% increase in revenues from the US, woo hoo A$1 = US$0.8354
 

Overnight the local currency hit an eight-month low of 83.54 US cents.

Finally some good news for us. I remember when the Aus $ used to only buy around US$0.55, was nearly on parity earlier this year.

Good news for Australians, mate. Good luck.

Fucking excellent and about time too! I remember the good old days of 48 cents to the dollars. It was like printing money!

Yes, when I made my first US$10K month back in 2004 or so, I had more money than sense. If I get that in AUS$ these days I'm happy enough considering the state of the porn business, the way it is. :Oh crap

It's still dropping.

Kicking myself that I converted $USD3k a couple of days ago, by sitting on my hands I would have made an extra $120ish... or if I'd hedged my bets and converted half I'd still have an extra $60. :)

Expecting some big wires tomorrow ... couldn't have come at a better time! :)

Excellent news :thumbsup

AFF and some CCBill sponsors wire me in the next few days, it adds another $500 or so to those, sweet.

I closed my offshore HSBC US$ account about 3 months ago (US$10K min deposit to open) after looking at the "expert advice" predicting the US$ / AUS$ would remain around $0.93 : $1, or get better in the AUS$ favour.

Never trust a so called expert :disgust

good news! any chance of it going back to 50c!? lol

Yep. good news for us Australians that get USD payments. :D

Fun times...

I've spent the last while setting up to take advantage of the high dollar and it's crashing before my masterplan comes to fruition... lol... On the plus side.. MORE MONEY!!!!!! ;)

Good news

Why would you close it when it only costs $30 a year in account keeping fees? Assuming we're talking about the multiple currency account...

It's great being able to transfer from USD to AUD when I feel like it; obviously I got the timing very wrong this week! USD-AUD has now gone below 0.82, I converted around 0.875

Right now if I had some spare cash going the other way (convert AUD to USD) would probably make a bit...

Wrong Rowan, it was costing me around $60-$100 per month in account keeping fees, with next to zero interest.

Down to 0.82.....keep falling you over inflated hanging on commodity oligopoly money piece of shit currency :)

It is great, but at the same time it sucks for me as I am about to go to Japan.

change your trip to Spain or Italy, now its the time to spend cheap euros!
