It's a project by an Australian team, so one would assume two things:

It's in Australian Dollars.

I think it has something to do with Taylor Swift

It all has to do with Taytay Swizzle. WAKE UP SHEEPLE! She will be crowned Empress of the World by chief Illuminatus Warren Buffet and the antiChrist Catholic puppet Joe Biden during the Super Bowl halftime show! Only Trump and Dildoboy Nugent can save us!!! /s

The only source is the absolutely bonkers price -- that's why it's an assumption.
