The longer AUD/USD history on the exchange-rate page, back to 1971, is the noon buying rate published by a United States federal agency, the Federal Reserve Board, in its H.10 release. It is not a CC BY 4.0 work: the Board’s Disclaimer states that, unless otherwise indicated, information on its website is in the public domain and may be copied and distributed without permission, and asks that the Board be cited as the source. The figures are retrieved through FRED, the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis’s data service, whose own suggested citation for the series names the Board. FRED’s terms of use restrict the republication of series owned by third parties, which is why the other series FRED carries alongside this one are not on this site. Neither body endorses this site or its use of the data.

European Central Bank. Attribution: Source: European Central Bank. The daily AUD/USD rate calculated from the ECB’s euro foreign exchange reference rates is Numbra’s own calculation: the US dollars per euro divided by the Australian dollars per euro on the same day, rounded to four decimal places. It is not a CC BY 4.0 work: the ECB’s disclaimer and copyright notice permits reproduction provided the ECB is cited as the source, the information is reproduced accurately and any modification is stated; the calculation above is that modification. The ECB publishes the reference rates for information purposes only. The ECB does not endorse this site or its use of the data.

This site’s own material (page text, computed changes, charts) is CC BY 4.0. Attribute it as Numbra and link to the page.
