Yeah never understood that personally
I think it may have something to do with the US dollar being stronger in years gone past but I doubt 60 USD ever equaled 109 AUD
Edit: Highest historical exchange rate is 1 USD for 1.55 AUD
In essence a 60 USD would cost 90 AUD but that's very simplified anyways
Doesn't take things like Purchasing Power Parity into consideration
