Australian dollars

On the exchange they're listed as
USD = US Dollars
AUD = Australian Dollars.

Your money is worth a little bit more than ours, and given all your games are cheaper too, feel lucky

Less demand in Australia than in North America is the excuse. In comparison, New York City alone houses more than a third of the population of Australia.
