As such, the Sponsor has determined that the functional currency for CurrencyShares Australian Dollar Trust is the Australian Dollar, for CurrencyShares Canadian Dollar Trust is the Canadian Dollar, for CurrencyShares Mexican Peso Trust is the Mexican Peso, for CurrencyShares Swedish Krona Trust is the Swedish Krona and for CurrencyShares Swiss Franc Trust is the Swiss Franc.
