I have. A US dollar is worth about 1.5 Australian dollars. If you don't care about accuracy and just want an easy conversion you can double the price. I don't usually convert currencies into Australian dollars, rather put the approximate conversion next to it. But I definitely have adapted to understanding and interpreting what the yanks say

Why though? Making everything US-centric helps no one. Have you started talking about one-sixteenth of an inch and tipping people?

Yes we have a dollar and it can be confused with other dollars around the world. Putting in AUD clears up any confusion there and people can do their own conversion and learn something about another country.
