How many US dollars will 1 Australian $ buy on December 4, 2009?

Settled as 1 AUD = 0.9100 to 0.9199 USD

One AUD equaled 0.9112 USD on Friday, 12/04

Background:

Background: Back in July '08, the Australian $ was close to parity with the US$. The economic crisis has wreaked havoc in the currency markets not just the stock market. The Aussie $ dropped like a rock in the late summer and fall, bottoming out at just over 0.62 to the US$ in Oct '08. It started this year around 0.71 to the US$, but has been coming back strong. On Friday, Nov 20, 2009, the exchange rate was 1AUD = $0.9145, virtually unchanged from two weeks ago. The 52wk Range is: 0.6077 - 0.9406.
So, with the recent turmoil in the currency markets, where will we go from here? The price of commodities may be key to the relative strength or weakness of Australian currency. Anything can happen.... The question is: How many US dollars will one Australian dollar (AUD) be worth? (Closing price on December 4, 2009)

Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source. Specifically, http://finance.yahoo.com/currency-investing
