The Australian Dollar is the official unit of currency in the Commonwealth of Australia, the Pacific Islands, and 7 other territories including Christmas Island, Norfolk Island and the Cocos Islands. It carries the International Standard Currency Code: AUD, and is represented by the dollar sign ($) or A$ to distinguish it from other dollar currencies. The Australian Dollar is currently the 5th most-traded currency in the world; largely due to it's exposure to the Asian commodities market, but it is not yet considered a reserve currency.
Monetary policy is set by the Reserve Bank of Australia, who are responsible for regulating cash flow and managing interest rates in an effort to ensure the Australian Dollar maintains it's value. Banknotes are printed by Note Printing Australia – a subsidiary of the Reserve Bank of Australia – and coins are struck by the Royal Australian Mint based in the suburb of Deakin, Canberra.
The Aussie Dollar is one of the most popular currencies that we compare, with the typical UK traveller taking approximately £2000 ($3000) in cash with them when they go. Brits tend to holiday for longer periods of time in Australia than they do in European destinations, which partly explains why this figure is so high.
As a part of the entry requirements for Australia you must make sure that you have enough money for the whole of your stay in Australia and have access to emergency funds in case you run out of money. For more information on Entry requirements you can visit the FCO's travel information pages.
