What is the pip value of USD/AUD?

If you are trading the USD/AUD and your account is AUD, the pip value is AUD10 (NOT USD) for a standard lot (100,000 units). When our account currency is different than the quote currency in the pair, 10 in the quote currency needs to be converted to our own account currency. This means the pip value will be different than 10.
