Template:AUD
A$
This is a multifunction template. At its simplest, it adds the currency mark "A$", as recommended by MOS:CURRENCY for many situations. The template can also link to the Australian dollar article and can even calculate inflation. See warnings below.
Usage
{{A$|value}}
Example:
- REDIRECT Template:Template link code → A$
- REDIRECT Template:Template link code → 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:
- REDIRECT Template:Template link code → A$123.45
Inflation calculation
Do not assume that using this template will mean that a calculated value is "current", "as of 2024", "as of 2023" or even necessarily "recent". Do not use {{CURRENTYEAR}} to refer to calculated value, instead {{Inflation-year|AU}} may be used. See also MOS:REALTIME. |
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 1901 ≤ year
< 2018), the equivalent value represented in 2018 dollars will be calculated in parentheses. However, this function should only be used in appropriate situations.
Examples:
- REDIRECT Template:Template link code → A$100
- REDIRECT Template:Template link code → A$100 (equivalent to $NaN in 2018)
- REDIRECT Template:Template link code → A$100 (equivalent to $NaN in 2018)
- REDIRECT Template:Template link code → A$100 (equivalent to $NaN in 2018)
- REDIRECT Template:Template link code → A$100 (equivalent to $NaN in 2018)
- REDIRECT Template:Template link code → A$100
- REDIRECT Template:Template link code → A$100
- REDIRECT Template:Template link code → 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:
- REDIRECT Template:Template link code → A$10 (equivalent to $NaN in 2018)
- REDIRECT Template:Template link code → A$10 (equivalent to $NaN in 2018)
- REDIRECT Template:Template link code → A$10 (equivalent to about $NaN in 2018)
- REDIRECT Template:Template link code → A$1,000 (equivalent to $NaN in 2018)
- REDIRECT Template:Template link code → A$1,000 (equivalent to $NaN in 2018)
- REDIRECT Template:Template link code → A$1,000 (equivalent to about $NaN in 2018)
