That's Australian dollars.

The $AUD is worth more than the $US, but tech goods always cost more in Australia than they should.

Are those US or AU $, and did you include shipping and taxes etc in that?

Weirdly that link lists prices for more than one board; RaspberryPI made it very clear that the initial batch was "one per customer".

The $50 record is clearly erroneous, there is another for $38 that has the specifications/photos and has a 1 per order limit.

Demand skyrocketed.
