This is a fair call IMHO.  The universal trading currency worldwide is
US$ if not stated otherwise, so I think e1000 made a fair comment.

Anyone who's ever done any importing/exporting will know this is true.
If you restrict posts to those newsgroups which a obviously and
exclusively Australian then its a fair bet figures are going to be in
AU$, but if not, and you don't specify, well, the assumption is (and
should be) US currency.
