→ Template talk:Currency#Suggestions for a standard set of options for each template

This is a multifunction template. At its simplest, it adds the currency mark "A$", as recommended by MOS:CURRENCY for many situations. The template can also link to the Australian dollar article and can even calculate inflation. See warnings below.

Usage

{{AUD|value}}

Example:

• {{AUD}} → A$
• {{AUD|123.45}} → A$123.45

Link

The parameter |link=yes may be used to link A$ to the article Australian dollar. This is turned off by default, but may be appropriate for the first occurrence of the term in an article.

Example:

• {{AUD|123.45|link=yes}} → A$123.45

Inflation calculation

The template supports inflation calculation, by way of {{Inflation}}. If the second parameter is used, to specify a year, and this year is within a certain range of available inflation data (specifically, if 1850 ≤ year < 2022), the equivalent value represented in 2022 dollars will be calculated in parentheses. However, this function should only be used in appropriate situations.

• {{AUD|value|year}}
• {{AUD|value|year|round=round|about=yes}}

Examples:

• {{AUD|100|1849}} → A$100
• {{AUD|100|1850}} → A$100 (equivalent to $15,850 in 2022)
• {{AUD|100|1966}} → A$100 (equivalent to $1,476 in 2022)
• {{AUD|100|1966|link=yes}} → A$100 (equivalent to $1,476 in 2022)
• {{AUD|100|2021}} → A$100 (equivalent to $106.59 in 2022)
• {{AUD|100|2022}} → A$100
• {{AUD|100|2024}} → A$100
• {{AUD|100|2025}} → A$100

Additional parameter |about=yes will cause the template to calculate to the nearest dollar (instead of the nearest cent), and prefix the calculated value with "about". The rounding can be fine-tuned further by using |round=integer. These parameters may be combined.

Examples:

• {{AUD|10|1935}} → A$10 (equivalent to $1,094 in 2022)
• {{AUD|10|1935|round=0}} → A$10 (equivalent to $1,094 in 2022)
• {{AUD|10|1935|about=yes}} → A$10 (equivalent to about $1,094 in 2022)
• {{AUD|1000|1935|round=2}} → A$1,000 (equivalent to $109,413.31 in 2022)
• {{AUD|1000|1935|round=-2}} → A$1,000 (equivalent to $109,400 in 2022)
• {{AUD|1000|1935|round=-2|about=yes}} → A$1,000 (equivalent to about $109,400 in 2022)
