Australian Coins in Circulation
On 14 February 1966, the Australian government adopted the dollar as its official monetary unit,
thereby replacing the pound. A new set of coins, whose denominations were consistent with the decimalisation
of Australian currency, were introduced during this time. At present, there are six coins in circulation,
namely...
…the five-cent coin.
…the ten-cent coin.
…the twenty-cent coin.
…the fifty-cent coin.
…the one-dollar coin.
…and the two-dollar coin.
