Template:AUD

A$

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

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:

1. REDIRECT Template:Template link code → A$

1. 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:

1. REDIRECT Template:Template link code → 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 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.

• {{A$|value|year}}
• {{A$|value|year|round=round|about=yes}}

Examples:

1. REDIRECT Template:Template link code → A$100

1. REDIRECT Template:Template link code → A$100 (equivalent to $NaN in 2018)

1. REDIRECT Template:Template link code → A$100 (equivalent to $NaN in 2018)

1. REDIRECT Template:Template link code → A$100 (equivalent to $NaN in 2018)

1. REDIRECT Template:Template link code → A$100 (equivalent to $NaN in 2018)

1. REDIRECT Template:Template link code → A$100

1. REDIRECT Template:Template link code → A$100

1. 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:

1. REDIRECT Template:Template link code → A$10 (equivalent to $NaN in 2018)

1. REDIRECT Template:Template link code → A$10 (equivalent to $NaN in 2018)

1. REDIRECT Template:Template link code → A$10 (equivalent to about $NaN in 2018)

1. REDIRECT Template:Template link code → A$1,000 (equivalent to $NaN in 2018)

1. REDIRECT Template:Template link code → A$1,000 (equivalent to $NaN in 2018)

1. REDIRECT Template:Template link code → A$1,000 (equivalent to about $NaN in 2018)
