when I see AUD:USD it reads "USD per AUD" which is the same as USD/AUD

I start the sentence with whatever currency is after the " : "

AUD:USDollars per AUD

hope it makes sense.

This confused me a little bit too when I started studying ... I think of the ccy's in terms of A and B. A is domestic, B is foreign.

Presentation for direct quotes of ccy A:

1) ccy A per unit of ccy B.

2) A/B

3) B:A
