"worthless Australian dollars" That's not cool mate

[ozanonay → shimi]

I'm Australian. My salary is in worthless Australian dollars.

Also I said this to point out that the title was misleading, and it's now been fixed. Humour was evidently an inappropriate way to bring it up.

I wouldn't call the Aussie dollar worthless.

Our "worthless Australian dollars" were trading 0.2c off equal until the US failed hard.

[sanswork → nopassrecover]

And now it's almost 30c off equal.

I don't see why people get all defensive about their currency.

[nopassrecover → sanswork]

It was a retort to the insinuation that Australian currency was worthless ergo the country is worthless.

[KiwiNige → ozanonay]

Fair enough, title is now fixed
