    You know, the US is not the only country to use a ‘dollar’ as the term for its currency.

      I had once been flamed by people who didn’t know that

      I convert Australian dollars to USD when talking about prices before because i know there’s just a lot of Americans online and everyone else has already adapted to understanding how much a dollar is in their currency anyway

            Why though? Making everything US-centric helps no one. Have you started talking about one-sixteenth of an inch and tipping people?

            Yes we have a dollar and it can be confused with other dollars around the world. Putting in AUD clears up any confusion there and people can do their own conversion and learn something about another country.
