Please use a real currency, not Australian wallnuts.

The Australian dollar is worth more than the US dollar. If any currency is "wallnuts", it's the US one. And then you have to factor in sales tax separately, over there, whereas all costs, including taxes, are included in the Australian price.

The exchange rate tells nothing about the strenght of a currency. And by calling it wallnuts I meant that to people outside of Australia $AU 400 is as clear of a message as if I told you that PS4 is going to cost 1500-1600 PLN. Let's stick to US $ or Euro, currencies that tell something to everyone.

US-centric and Euro-centric argument doesn't fly with me. As long as currencies float relative to each other, and vary in value, using any particular currency will suffer the same problem - if you tell me that something costs US$100, most of the time I'll have to load up google and ask it what 100 USD is in AUD. Just because US dollars are easier for YOU to think of, doesn't mean it's true of everyone.
