Thanks to the Brexit vote, now could be the time to stock up on all those England and Wales certificates from the General Register Office! The AUD is now buying 0.5447 GBP (it was at that level for a short time in late May as well so not a historical low). The 9.25 pound certificates are approximately A$16.90. I guess also from www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk too (while they still use the pound :P).

The first thing I checked was how much certificates would cost. :) They were $18 plus on Friday morning and down to $16ish I think by the afternoon - still about the same as you note. Nothing earth shattering. They were lower than that a couple of years ago.

It was the first thing I check as well.. I have some I would like to order and if I get them now I will save about $5.00 Canadian. So think I will send for them,
Cheers

If you want to take advantage of the fluctuations in the pound against other currencies you have to be quick.
The pound is rising again.
Currencies have always and will always fluctuate as dealers buy and sell in order to make quick profits.
Don't make the mistake in thinking the pound is on a downward trend it is simply stabilising from a false strong position pre-referendum.

Recently the pound has traded at US$1.40-US$1.45. The $1.50 mentioned was a high immediately pre referendum, and though not historically out of line was a short time peak. Whether the pound will regain $1.40 or continue to plunge is a matter of conjecture.
