I saw this coming and bought a stack of US dollars when I travelled last May, from which I have a heap left over. I exchanged at a rate 96 cents. Yes, it was a gamble, but it is one that seems to have paid off. I just bought two Quarks last week (Chromosphere and Prominence), along with other accessories.

I just wish I had bought double last year, as I got an exchange rate above parity. But as Rick says...swings and roundabouts.
