Angie,<BR><BR>Yes the currency is different. You can go to www.xe.net to work out the difference. I'm an American here for several months and you'll love it here. Good choice of destination!<BR><BR>Regards,<BR>Jennifer

Angie<BR><BR>We have coins - $1, $2 (these are gold coins, the $1 being larger than the $2) 50c, 20c, 10c and 5c (these are all silver and start from large to small). Our notes are coloured unlike yours which are all green. Notes - $5 (pinky), $10 (bluey-green), $20 (orange), $50 (yellow), $100 (whitey-green).<BR>Total sums are rounded up or down as we don't use pennies.<BR><BR>As far as currency conversion goes, you basically halve the price of everything you see here to get an equilivent US price. Great for you but not for us when we travel to the US.<BR><BR>Hope this helps.<BR><BR>Anne in Australia
