It's just one of numerous heuristics that both JAWS and NVDA use. In this case NVDA interpreted a capital A followed by capital U followed by a number as being a monetary value, with AU being the code for Australian dollars. It would not do that if either of the letters was lower case. I have found this behaviour to be inconsistent, which really means that I don't fully understand the heuristic they are using.
