The sad little dollar

I don't really understand how the exchange rate works, or how its decided - all I know, is right now it SUCKS!
The Aus dollar is currently worth 79 US cents. This puts all those beautiful little things on Etsy just that little bit out of reach. It makes me stop and think, is this really worth buying... since it will work out to almost 25% more than it appears.

I am soon to be placing a nice juicy order from USA (wont tell you where from just yet). But this miserable exchange rate has got me questioning it.

It's a sad day for online shopping.
