The topic was split to avoid the diversions from the OP. The Aussie Dollar has nothing to do with the Metallica Pinball.
Discussion about the Aussie Dollar is a worthwhile discussion in context of it's own thread
This thread would be buried in the Metallica thread and the useful contributions would not be able to be referenced. I think it is a good idea to post the value of the dollar and note the price drops / hikes at each Stern / JPP release.
Good point as the dollar value not only affects NIB buys but also spare parts and overseas used pinball buys. You never know, one day a low A $ may even encourage some local pinball production and/or assembly.
