Welcome to the future of Superstate Currencies: The Spanner will be the new Common Currency encompassing all english speaking states. To prevent the innevitable failure of the USA, we had to rush out and abandon the sliding US dollar for a Common Currency and better Government.
In light of this glorious moment I introduce the New International Anthem: The Spanner
As I hold My spanner high!
And keep my Toolbox ever dry,
I thank the working stiff,
Who made my precision tools.
From the finest metals,
we have mined and refined,
The Uncorroding Steels,
of our greatest design.
Glory to the Spanner,
The Tool we hold High,
The only Currency left,
The Tool worth its weight.
As I hold My spanner high!
And keep my Toolbox ever dry,
I thank the working stiff,
Who made my precision tools.
Before Keating floated the AUD back before he became PM, the AUD was artificially maintained at a higher value than the USD.
Its just that we did not experience much of the GFC as we were not at the same level of debt and our banking industry is better regulated than the US banking industry.
The AUD is considered safe and strong and so people are happy to buy it over the USD raising the value of the AUD to pre Keating times...
If it makes it easier to buy Tim Tams here, I'm all for it.
They were just clearancing them out at WalMart. I bought a large supply. Lasted almost a week.
Since the Campbell Soup Co. owns Arnotts I'm not too surpised to hear that Tim-Tams are in the US. I'd like to find them in the UK though...
Cheers

This is more a UDF weakness story. Everyones currency is rising against the USD these days. Mainly because its believed that the US recovery will be particularly slow.
If it makes it easier to buy Tim Tams here, I'm all for it.
Sorry it makes Tim Tams more expensive - $1.00 AUD packet a few years ago would = $0.57 - $0.60ish USD, now $1.00 AUD = $0.99 USD.
Good for you in that it is cheaper to buy Paizo product from you directly than from the FLGS... so the extra income can be directed to your Tim Tam habit.
All we need you to do now is to start playing Rugby (or AFL) and Cricket, reverie Kylie Minogue not for her music but having the most perfect derrière in the universe and our take over of your country will be complete.

Yes, I believe it's only a matter of time until the states abdicate to the majesty that is Australia.
It's all a great conspiracy by the british to reclaim the land they lost to the "colonists" all those years ago. Once America abdicates under the weight of our mighy dollar, England will recind Australias right to govern itself and the world will again be ruled by the mighty british empire!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhaahahhahaha h hahah hah errrr. Sorry

You don't have to convince me Mr Dwarf, I'm an Aussie.
I was just extending current events and placing a possible scenario in there. This is what happens to your thought processes when you GM for most of your adult life and constantly have to come up with new metaplots to keep your players satisfied.
Let the conquest of England continue I say.

Meh, same continent. You all look the same to me. Its my shortsightedness you see.
Just remember two thangs:
1)red coats
and
2) six flags have flown over the Republic of Texas. Nary a damn one of them was the Union Jack.
and you'll be allright.

Olivia was born in England lives in the US... Russell Crowe born in New Zealand, lives here but you can have him if you want.... Mel Gibson born in the US lives in the US you can keep him.
Wolverine - Hugh Jackman... Born here lives here
Galadriel and Queen Elizabeth I - Cate Blanchett ours as well.
Captain Hector Barbossa, Sir Francis Walsingham - Geoffrey Rush
Chopper Read, Norm Gibson, Avner Kaufman, Bruce Banner, Hector - Eric Bana is ours as well.
I could go on about Portia, Heath, Naomi, Weir and Beresford and the thousands of others that have infiltrated your film industry - everything you make will have an Australian in it or filming it or directing it.
Music industry is a little quiet at the moment... ACDC are ours, INXS, Jet, Kylie, Nick Cave, and the wiggles. It is the quiet before the storm, the world is ours.....

Pffft! That Nick Cave clip is not the best choice to show off Kylie's most famous asset! Try this one Spinning Around.
