Yes Ren is accurate. Here is the reason.

Lt;TABLE id=Table2 cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=1 width=100% border=0gt;lt;TBODYgt;lt;TRgt;lt;TD class=dic_termdefs vAlign=center width=85 percent gt;From the context of the http://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/cable.asp#, the http://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/cable.asp# between the U.S. dollar and the British pound sterling. As it's the norm in forex for most major currencies to be quoted from the U.S. dollar on a normal basis, cable is a widely used term.

Cable can also be used to refer only to the British pound sterling.

For example, you may hear someone addressing the forex market stating, The cable is up today, or, The cable has been trending lower lately.

The origins of this term are credited to the fact that in the 1800s, the dollar/pound sterling exchange rate was sent via transatlantic cable.

Forex brokers are sometimes referred to as cable traders.

Cable = gbpusd

Loonie = usdcad (from loonie bird canadian currency )

Ozzie = aususd ('cause Ozzie sounds like Aussie and Aussies reside in the land of Oz)

Yuppy = eurjpy

Swissy = usdchf ('cause it is the Swiss franc. Oh, and also the official name of Switzerland is Confederation Helvetica, so it is chf Rather than swf)

Coz the Canadian $1.00 Coin gets the image of a Loon [wetlands bird] on the'B' side.

We are thinking of placing a $5.00 coin with a picture of the Boreal Forest on the'B' side and calling it a Woodie. Whatcha think? :

We're Considering putting out a $5.00 coin with a picture of the Boreal Forest on the'B' side and calling it a Woodie. Whatcha think? : Prolly not a fantastic idea. It'd be too easy to confuse with the US Wooden Nickel! :

BTW, does anybody know the exchange rate between a Wooden Nickel along with also a Plug Nickel?
