Where I live we think of the Aussies as our stupid cousins (we once had a
Prime Minister that refered to NZers emigrating to Australia as raising the
average IQ of both countries). I tend to refer to the price of things as
$ when I mean US$ on any international newsgroup or forum. If I wish to
refer to our local currency I would put NZ$ to make it clear.

On a .nz group then $ would mean NZ$, a similar thing would work for you
where $ could mean AU$ on a .au group.

This is about the ability to make oneself understood, which you lack! I
don't know if it is deliberate or simple ignorance, but nothing in your
post indicates that you are referring to anything other than US$.
