"Anyway the conversion rate is 0.73 US cents to one Australian dollar, which is equal to $(Australian) 33.92, but the conversion charge was $(Aust) 10.00, so I ended up with $(Aust) 23.92, a bit less than three quarters of what I was paid!" <br /> <br />you received roughly 1.37 australian for each usa. several years back you would have received 2.00 aus'la for every usa. you have just been victimized by the weakening u.s. dollar in post 911. imagine how rupert murdock and the australian wheat board feel when they take a u$d check to the bank. <br />next time send the check back to kalmbach and ask for a subscription credit. then you'll avoid the handling fee that the bank chipped off and you'll be matching currency origin with origin of goods received. $10 isn't much anymore, but it is lunch money. <br />
